Leak to dry to treated, one company in Romford

Romford's housing spans Victorian terraces near the town centre, 1930s semis in Gidea Park and Collier Row, and postwar estates across Harold Hill, alongside newer flat conversions near the station. This mix of ageing pipework, flat-roofed extensions and multi-storey conversions means hidden leaks behind walls, under floors and above ceilings are common, often tracing back to original plumbing runs never designed for modern bathrooms and kitchens.

Common leaks in Romford homes

Flat roof leaks on rear extensions

Many Romford terraces and semis, particularly around Collier Row and Chadwell Heath, have flat-roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions added decades ago. Felt and asphalt coverings perish with age, letting water track along joists and emerge far from the original entry point, often showing as staining on a ceiling well inside the house rather than directly beneath the roof fault.

Upstairs bathrooms leaking into rooms below

Romford's 1930s semis and postwar Harold Hill houses commonly have upstairs bathrooms retrofitted above original layouts. Perished shower tray seals, cracked grout or a failed waste pipe joint let water seep through the floor void, appearing as damp patches or sagging plaster on the ceiling below, sometimes weeks after the seal first failed.

Ageing supply pipework in converted flats

Around Romford town centre and near the station, older houses split into flats often retain original or partially updated plumbing runs hidden within shared walls and floors. Escape of water from a corroded joint or compression fitting can travel between units, causing damage to a neighbouring flat before anyone in the source property notices 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.

I have been dealing with damp and mould for years but these guys were able to come in and resolve the problem quickly and professionally. Their prices were fair and reasonable and they got the job done clean. 10/10 would use again and would recommend.

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.
