Leak to dry to treated, one company in Richmond

Richmond's housing stock ranges from Georgian and Victorian townhouses near the Green and Richmond Hill to riverside conversions, mansion flats and 1930s semis towards East Sheen and Ham. This mix of subdivided period properties, flat-roofed extensions and older plumbing runs means hidden leaks often develop unseen behind original features before damage surfaces.

Common leaks in Richmond homes

Converted townhouses with stacked bathrooms

Many Georgian and Victorian properties around Richmond Hill and the Green were divided into flats decades ago, stacking bathrooms above one another. Ageing waste pipes, worn shower trays and grouted joints can fail quietly, sending water through original timber floors into the ceiling of the flat below, often only noticed once staining or a sagging ceiling appears.

Flat roof extensions near the river

Riverside and rear-extended properties towards Twickenham and St Margarets frequently rely on flat roofs to maximise space close to the Thames. Felt and asphalt coverings perish with age and sun exposure, letting water seep in gradually through cracked seals around flashing and skylights, tracking along joists before any damp patch becomes visible indoors.

Perished seals and old plumbing in period cottages

Cottages and mews properties in Ham and Petersham often retain original or early-modernised plumbing, with soldered joints, ageing stopcocks and bathroom seals that harden and crack over time. Escape of water from these failure points can travel unseen beneath suspended timber floors for weeks, weakening boards and skirting long before a leak becomes obvious.

What our customers say

★★★★★

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.

Was lovely working with the team and they did a fantastic and quick job to get all the mould out of my bathroom. Very much looking forward to working with them on other projects around my house!! Thank you for everything and shout out to Karim for being so sweet!

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.
