Leak to dry to treated, one company in Newham

Newham's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Forest Gate and Manor Park to interwar semis, converted flats above shops on Green Street and Barking Road, and large riverside developments around Stratford and Canning Town. This mix of old cast iron plumbing, subdivided properties with shared bathrooms, and newer high-density flats above other units means hidden leaks travel between floors easily and often go unnoticed until damage is extensive.

Areas of Newham we cover

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

Common leaks in Newham homes

Converted terraces with stacked bathrooms

Many Victorian terraces across Forest Gate, Manor Park and East Ham have been divided into flats, often with bathrooms built directly above the flat below. Waste pipes and shower trays fitted during conversion works can leak slowly through floor joists, staining ceilings in the property beneath long before anyone upstairs notices standing water or a drop in pressure.

Flat roofs on shops and extensions

Parades along Green Street, Barking Road and Romford Road combine ground floor commercial units with flat-roofed rear extensions or flats above. Felt and asphalt roofing on these extensions perishes with age and weather exposure, allowing water to track along joists and emerge as damp patches well away from the original point of entry, complicating diagnosis.

High-rise developments near Stratford and the river

The newer apartment blocks around Stratford, Canning Town and Silvertown rely on concealed plumbing risers, communal pipework and perished seals around bathroom fittings. A failed seal or joint several floors up can send water through service ducts into flats below, causing damage far from the source and often requiring access to neighbouring properties to trace it.

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.
