Leak to dry to treated, one company in Putney

Putney's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces converted into flats, to mansion blocks along the riverside, 1930s semis around Putney Heath and Vale, and newer riverside apartment developments near Putney Wharf. This variety means stacked bathrooms above older plumbing, flat-roofed extensions, and ageing seals all sit close together, giving hidden leaks plenty of routes into ceilings and party walls.

Areas of Putney we cover

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

Common leaks in Putney homes

Converted terraces with stacked bathrooms

Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Putney High Street and West Hill were split into flats decades ago, often with a bathroom built directly above the one below. Old waste pipes, degraded grouting and shifting floor joists let water travel between floors unnoticed, staining ceilings and softening ceiling joists long before residents realise there is a leak.

Flat roofs on rear extensions

Rear kitchen extensions and loft conversions common in Putney's terraced streets frequently rely on flat felt or asphalt roofing. As these coverings age past their intended lifespan, perished flashing and hairline splits let rainwater seep in slowly, tracking along joists and appearing as damp patches well away from the actual point of entry.

Riverside and mansion block plumbing runs

Mansion blocks and riverside apartment developments around Putney Wharf and the Embankment have long shared plumbing risers and balcony drainage serving multiple flats. Failed seals around balcony doors, perished pipe joints hidden in service ducts, or blocked drainage outlets can send water into neighbouring flats below, often only discovered once ceilings begin to bow or discolour.

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.
