Leak to dry to treated, one company in Shoreditch

Shoreditch mixes Victorian terraces and tenement blocks with converted warehouses, former textile factories and newer loft-style developments around Old Street and Brick Lane. Many buildings were never designed as homes, so retrofitted bathrooms, kitchens and roof terraces sit above ageing joists and shared risers, making hidden leaks common and often slow to reveal themselves.

Areas of Shoreditch we cover

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

Common leaks in Shoreditch homes

Flat roofs on converted warehouses and lofts

Shoreditch's many warehouse-to-flat conversions typically have flat or low-pitch roofs finished in felt or asphalt. These membranes perish with age and thermal movement, letting rainwater track along joists and insulation before appearing as staining on ceilings well away from the actual defect, sometimes months after the covering first failed.

Bathrooms retrofitted above Victorian floors

Older terraces and tenement blocks around Hoxton and Haggerston were rarely built with multiple bathrooms, so extra shower rooms have been squeezed into upper floors over the years. Failed shower trays, perished sealant around baths and degraded waste pipe joints let water seep through original timber floorboards into the ceiling and walls of the flat below.

Escape of water in subdivided and converted buildings

Many Shoreditch properties have been divided into flats or sit above old commercial units, meaning plumbing runs pass through several ownerships. A failed valve, split pipe or cracked seal in one unit can send water travelling through party walls and floor voids, causing escape of water damage in a neighbouring or downstairs property before anyone notices the source.

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.

Very professional and organised I must say came out and completed the work very efficiently customer service was excellent. Definitely recommend this damp and mould service to anyone looking for a job done correctly. :)

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.
