Leak to dry to treated, one company in Stratford

Stratford's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Maryland and West Ham to ex-council low-rise blocks, converted flats and the dense new-build towers of Stratford City and East Village. This mix of old plumbing, flat-roofed extensions and multi-storey developments with shared risers means hidden water leaks can develop unnoticed for months, often surfacing far from their true source.

Common leaks in Stratford homes

Flat roof leaks on Victorian terrace extensions

Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Maryland and West Ham have had rear kitchen or bathroom extensions added with flat roofs. Felt or asphalt coverings degrade over time, and once the waterproofing fails, water tracks along joists before appearing as staining well away from the original entry point, making the leak source hard to trace without a proper investigation.

Bathrooms leaking into flats below in converted and purpose-built blocks

Stratford has a high proportion of converted terraces and purpose-built flats, including newer developments around Stratford City and East Village. Failed shower trays, perished sealant around baths, or cracked tanking allow water to seep through floor voids into the ceiling of the flat below, often causing damage well before residents upstairs notice anything is wrong.

Perished pipe seals in ex-council and high-rise stock

Older ex-council low-rise blocks and high-rise towers near Carpenters Estate and Stratford New Town rely on shared vertical pipework and communal risers. As rubber washers and pipe seals age, they perish and allow slow escapes of water within duct spaces, which can travel between multiple flats before any visible sign of dampness appears at skirting or ceiling level.

★★★★★

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.
