Leak to dry to treated, one company in Rickmansworth

Rickmansworth blends Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre, 1930s semis in Mill End and Croxley Green, mock-Tudor detached homes in Moor Park, and canal-side properties near the Grand Union Canal and River Chess. This mix of ageing pipework, flat-roofed extensions and ground close to waterways means hidden leaks develop easily and often go unnoticed until damage spreads.

Areas of Rickmansworth we cover

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

Common leaks in Rickmansworth homes

Flat-roofed extensions and garages

Many 1930s semis in Mill End, Croxley Green and Batchworth have had kitchen or garage extensions added with flat felt or asphalt roofs. These coverings perish with age and UV exposure, allowing water to seep in gradually rather than pour through visibly. Homeowners often only discover the damage once ceiling staining appears or timber joists beneath have already started to rot.

Ageing bathroom seals in multi-storey homes

Rickmansworth's larger detached and mock-Tudor properties, particularly around Moor Park, frequently have upstairs bathrooms and en-suites positioned above living rooms or kitchens. Perished silicone seals around baths, showers and tiling let water escape slowly into the floor void, tracking along joists before it shows as a stain or bulge on the ceiling below, by which point saturation is often extensive.

Old pipework in canal and river-adjacent properties

Properties near the Grand Union Canal, the Aquadrome and the River Chess sit on ground with a naturally high water table, which stresses ageing lead, copper and early plastic plumbing runs beneath solid or suspended floors. A failed joint or corroded section can leak steadily under a floor slab for weeks, feeding damp into skirting and walls before residents notice a problem.

What our customers say

★★★★★

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.
