Leak to dry to treated, one company in Lee

Lee's housing stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Lee Manor and Lee Green, many since converted into flats, alongside 1930s semis towards Grove Park and Mottingham. Older properties bring ageing lead and cast iron pipework, while flat conversions add shared soil stacks and bathrooms stacked above neighbours' ceilings, both prime sources of hidden escape of water.

Common leaks in Lee homes

Converted terraces and flat-to-flat leaks

Many Lee Manor and Lee Green terraces were split into upper and lower flats decades ago, often with bathrooms retrofitted directly above another household's kitchen or lounge. A perished shower seal or a slow supply pipe joint under a bath panel can seep for weeks, tracking along joists before staining a ceiling below, so the true source is rarely where the damage first appears.

Edwardian bay windows and perished flashings

The bay-fronted Edwardian terraces around Burnt Ash and Old Road often have flat-roofed extensions or box gutters over ground floor bays that were never designed for modern lifespans. Cracked felt or displaced lead flashing lets rainwater track down behind the brickwork and internal walls, appearing as damp patches well away from the actual roof defect.

1930s semis with ageing bathroom plumbing

The inter-war semis common in Grove Park and Mottingham were built with plumbing runs that have since been extended for additional bathrooms and en suites, often buried in solid floors or boxed-in ducting. Corroded joints or a failed ballcock in a loft tank can leak steadily undetected, causing hidden timber decay and mould before any visible sign reaches the rooms below.

★★★★★

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

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.
