Leak to dry to treated, one company in Mitcham

Mitcham's housing spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Cricket Green and Figges Marsh, interwar semis, and postwar council estates at Pollards Hill and Phipps Bridge, many since converted into flats and maisonettes. This mix of ageing original plumbing, added bathrooms, and stacked conversions creates multiple points where escape of water can travel unseen between floors before it surfaces.

Common leaks in Mitcham homes

Perished seals in Victorian and Edwardian terraces

Terraced houses around Cricket Green and Figges Marsh still run original or long-since-replaced pipework behind lath and plaster walls. Seals around bath surrounds, waste pipes and soil stacks perish with age, letting water seep gradually into joists and party walls. Because these terraces share walls with neighbouring properties, a slow leak often causes damp to appear next door before the source house shows any obvious sign.

Leaking flat roofs on rear extensions

Many Mitcham terraces and semis have single-storey rear extensions with flat felt or asphalt roofs added over kitchens and bathrooms. These coverings degrade faster than pitched tiling, and once the membrane splits, rainwater tracks along the roof deck before dropping through the ceiling, often well away from the actual defect. Homeowners frequently notice a stained ceiling long after the roof itself began failing.

Bathrooms leaking through converted flats and maisonettes

Conversions in Lower Mitcham and stacked flats near Pollards Hill and Phipps Bridge put upstairs bathrooms directly above someone else's ceiling. A failed shower tray seal or cracked waste pipe joint can send water into the flat below for weeks before it is noticed, damaging plasterboard ceilings and electrics. Shared freehold arrangements often delay repairs while the source of the escape is traced.

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.

★★★★★

Very professional and organised I must say came out and completed the work very efficiently customer service was excellent. Definitely recommend this damp and mould service to anyone looking for a job done correctly. :)

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.
