Leak to dry to treated, one company in Lambeth

Lambeth's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Brixton and Herne Hill, carved into flats, to mansion blocks in Clapham and 1960s and 70s council estates around Vauxhall, Kennington and Oval. This layered stock means ageing plumbing, flat roofs, shared risers and ill-fitting conversions all sit close together, giving hidden leaks many different routes into a property.

Areas of Lambeth we cover

We attend leaks right across Lambeth and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in Lambeth homes

Converted terraces with stacked bathrooms

Many Brixton, Stockwell and Herne Hill terraces were split into two or three flats decades ago, often with a bathroom fitted above another household's living space. Waste pipes, shower trays and old seals sit over someone else's ceiling, so a slow leak can travel through joists and floorboards for weeks, staining plaster below long before the upstairs occupant notices anything wrong themselves.

Flat roofs on extensions and mansion blocks

Rear extensions in Clapham and Streatham, plus the flat-roofed sections common on Edwardian mansion blocks, rely on felt or membrane coverings that degrade quietly over fifteen to twenty years. Once perished, they let rainwater seep through insulation and ceiling boards rather than dripping visibly, so damp patches and sagging plaster often appear well after the covering has actually failed.

Ageing risers and seals in ex-council blocks

Estates around Vauxhall, Kennington and Oval include mid-century concrete blocks with shared vertical risers, communal stopcocks and window seals original to construction. When a seal perishes or a riser joint fails, water can travel between floors through service ducts, appearing in a flat far from the actual source and making the leak harder for residents to trace unaided.

★★★★★

Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Keiryn Raf, via Google

Tip: If your water meter ticks over with every tap off, or a wall or ceiling stays damp with no obvious cause, there is a hidden leak. Finding it early is far cheaper than repairing the mould and damage it leaves behind.
