Leak to dry to treated, one company in Reigate
Reigate's housing spans Victorian and Edwardian villas around the town centre, interwar semis on Wray Common and Woodhatch, and mid-century extensions climbing towards Reigate Heath and the Downs. Older properties often carry replaced bathrooms, flat-roofed rear additions and ageing lead or copper pipework, all of which sit above original joists and lath-and-plaster ceilings prone to hiding a slow leak for weeks.

Common leaks in Reigate homes
Flat roof extensions on Victorian terraces
Many Reigate town centre terraces gained flat-roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions during the 20th century. Felt and asphalt coverings on these low-pitch roofs degrade faster than the main roof and are harder to inspect. Water tracks along joists before appearing as a ceiling stain, often well away from the actual perished area, delaying discovery and allowing rot to spread into supporting timbers.
First-floor bathrooms above period ceilings
Semis and villas around Wray Common and Woodhatch frequently had bathrooms retrofitted above ground-floor reception rooms. A failed shower tray seal or cracked grout lets water seep through the floor deck into the lath-and-plaster ceiling below, where it can sit undetected for a considerable time, weakening the plaster and staining decorated rooms before residents notice anything wrong.
Ageing pipework in extended and converted properties
Houses extended towards Reigate Heath and South Park often mix original lead or copper supply pipes with newer plastic sections added during renovations. Joints between old and new materials, plus pipes buried under solid floor extensions, are common failure points. A pinhole leak in a concealed run can release water gradually into foundations and subfloors long before any visible sign emerges.
