Leak to dry to treated, one company in Peckham

Peckham's housing stock is a patchwork of Victorian terraces split into flats, 1930s to 1960s council low-rise blocks and maisonettes, converted warehouse units around Copeland Park, and newer developments near Rye Lane. This mix of ages and conversion styles means plumbing runs, roof coverings and bathroom waterproofing vary hugely in condition, so hidden leaks often go unnoticed between floors or neighbouring flats for long periods.

Common leaks in Peckham homes

Converted terraces with stacked bathrooms

Many Peckham terraces near Bellenden and Choumert Grove were divided into flats decades ago, with bathrooms installed above kitchens or living rooms that were never designed to be tanked. Grout and sealant around baths and shower trays perish over time, letting water seep through floor joists into the ceiling below, often only spotted once staining or a soft ceiling appears.

Flat roof extensions to rear additions

Rear and side return extensions are common across Peckham's Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many finished with felt or GRP flat roofing. These coverings degrade with age and weather, and once the membrane splits or flashing lifts at a wall junction, water tracks along joists before appearing well away from the original point of entry, making the leak source hard to trace.

Ageing pipework in council blocks and maisonettes

Peckham's post-war low-rise estates and maisonettes, including those around Old Kent Road and Queens Road, often retain original or early replacement plumbing risers shared between units. Perished washers, corroded joints and failed seals on stacks running through communal cupboards can cause escape of water that spreads sideways into neighbouring properties before it ever reaches a visible outlet.

★★★★★

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.

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.
