Leak to dry to treated, one company in Rochester

Rochester's housing mix runs from Georgian and Victorian terraces around the High Street and Troy Town, many long since converted into flats, through postwar semis in Borstal and Delce, to new-build apartments at Rochester Riverside. Older properties hide ageing lead, copper and iron pipework beneath floorboards, while subdivided terraces mean a single failed joint can leak straight into the flat below.

Common leaks in Rochester homes

Converted terraces with leaks between flats

Many of Rochester's Victorian and Georgian terraces near the High Street and Troy Town were split into flats decades ago, with bathrooms and kitchens stacked above one another. A dripping waste pipe or failed shower tray in an upper flat can travel through old joists and lath-and-plaster ceilings unnoticed, causing staining and timber decay in the flat below long before anyone reports it.

Flat roofs on extensions and riverside apartments

Rochester has plenty of rear-extension flat roofs on its terraced and semi-detached housing in Delce and Borstal, plus flat-roofed sections on newer apartment blocks at Rochester Riverside. Felt and asphalt coverings degrade with age and weather exposure, and once the membrane splits, water tracks along joists and insulation, appearing as ceiling staining well away from the actual point of entry.

Perished seals around baths and shower trays

In older bathrooms across Rochester's period conversions, silicone seals and grout around baths, shower trays and tiled surrounds harden and crack over years of use. Once perished, they let water escape behind tiles and under trays with every wash, soaking into subfloors and adjoining ceilings gradually, so damage is often well established by the time damp patches or soft flooring become visible.

★★★★★

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.

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.
