Leak to dry to treated, one company in Pimlico

Pimlico is defined by Thomas Cubitt's Grade II listed stucco-fronted Regency terraces, most long since divided into flats, alongside mansion blocks such as Dolphin Square and the post-war Churchill Gardens estate. This mix of subdivided period property, shared risers and mid-century concrete construction means plumbing runs behind original walls and floors, so a hidden leak often travels between homes before anyone notices.

Common leaks in Pimlico homes

Leaks between converted flats

Many Pimlico terraces were carved into two or three flats last century, with bathrooms stacked above kitchens and shared soil stacks boxed into party walls. When a joint or waste pipe fails, water tracks along joists and skirting before it stains a ceiling below, so the flat below often shows damage from a leak the upstairs owner has not noticed.

Perished flat roofs on rear additions

Behind their handsome stucco facades, many Pimlico houses have single-storey rear extensions and closet wings finished with flat felt or asphalt roofs, now decades old. Once the membrane cracks or the upstands pull away from brickwork, rain gets in gradually rather than through an obvious hole, tracking along ceiling voids and appearing as damp patches well away from the actual entry point.

Failed seals in mansion block bathrooms

Blocks like Dolphin Square and the Churchill Gardens estate have bathrooms tightly stacked over neighbouring flats, served by communal risers and concrete floor slabs. Perished sealant around baths, shower trays and waste pipes lets water seep through tile joints and construction gaps into the flat below, often escaping notice for weeks because it appears as a slow-forming stain rather than a sudden flood.

★★★★★

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

★★★★★

Clearly communication, easy to deal with and responsive. We would thoroughly recommend. The report was really detailed making our buying negotiations a lot stronger and leaving us with a clear plan of action with possible timeframes.

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.
