Leak to dry to treated, one company in Marylebone
Marylebone's housing stock is dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraces converted into flats, alongside mansion blocks around Baker Street and Dorset Square and mews properties tucked behind the main squares. This mix of subdivided period buildings, shared risers and later basement conversions means old plumbing, joint seals and flat roofs are frequently hidden behind original cornicing and panelling.

Common leaks in Marylebone homes
Converted townhouses with shared pipework
Many Marylebone terraces near Montagu Square and Bryanston Square were split into flats decades ago, leaving bathrooms stacked above one another on shared soil stacks and supply pipes. A failed joint or worn seal on an upper floor often tracks silently through joists before staining a ceiling below, so leaks are frequently older and more extensive than the visible damage suggests.
Flat roofs on mansion blocks and rear extensions
The mansion blocks around Baker Street and Dorset Square, along with rear closet wing extensions common on Marylebone terraces, often rely on flat roofing with felt or asphalt coverings and lead flashings. Perished seals around parapets, upstands and rooflights let water penetrate slowly during heavy rain, tracking along ceiling voids well away from the actual point of failure.
Lower ground floor and basement escapes of water
Lower ground floor flats and basement conversions, common where Marylebone properties have been extended downward, sit directly beneath bathrooms and kitchens on the floors above. A cracked waste pipe, overflowing bath or failed shower tray upstairs becomes an escape of water into the basement below, often affecting tanking, skirting and electrics before residents notice the source.
