Leak to dry to treated, one company in Lewes

Lewes's housing stock blends Georgian and Victorian townhouses around Cliffe and Southover with flint cottages, converted maltings and later estates in Wallands Park and Nevill. Steep hillside terraces, original lath and plaster, and ageing lead or copper pipework make hidden leaks hard to spot until water has tracked through floors and ceilings unnoticed.

Common leaks in Lewes homes

Georgian and Victorian Townhouses with Hidden Pipework

Many properties in Cliffe and Southover date from the Georgian and Victorian eras, with bathrooms added above ground-floor rooms decades after original construction. Lead and early copper supply pipes run within timber joists and behind lath and plaster walls, so a failed joint or slow leak can travel along floor voids for weeks, staining ceilings far from the actual source before it is discovered.

Flat Roofs and Dormers on Wallands Park and Nevill Extensions

Twentieth-century additions in Wallands Park and Nevill, along with flat-roofed extensions and dormer windows added to older Cliffe and Malling houses, rely on felt or rubber membranes and lead flashing that perish with age. Once seals fail, water can seep quietly into roof voids and wall cavities for months, only becoming obvious once plasterboard ceilings below start to bow or discolour.

Flint Cottages and Riverside Properties Near the Ouse

Flint and brick cottages in Cliffe and South Malling, close to the River Ouse, often have solid walls and suspended timber floors with little room for modern pipe runs. Bathrooms squeezed into former box rooms send waste and supply pipes through tight, boxed-in voids, so a perished seal or failed joint escapes unseen, soaking timber floors and skirting before any damp patch appears.

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.
