Leak to dry to treated, one company in Streatham

Streatham's housing stock ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces carved into flats around Furzedown and Streatham Wells, to 1930s mansion blocks along Streatham Hill and Leigham Court, plus semi-detached houses with rear extensions in Streatham Vale and Streatham Park. This mix of subdivided period properties, ageing flat roofs and bolted-on extensions creates repeated opportunities for hidden leaks between floors and flats.

Common leaks in Streatham homes

Converted Victorian terraces with stacked bathrooms

Many Streatham terraces near Furzedown and Streatham Wells were split into two or three flats, often stacking bathrooms directly above kitchens or living rooms below. Old lead or push-fit pipework hidden under floorboards can fail quietly, with water tracking along joists before it stains a ceiling in the flat beneath, sometimes weeks after the original leak began.

Flat roofs on 1930s mansion blocks

The mansion blocks around Streatham Hill and Leigham Court typically have flat or low-pitch roofs with felt or asphalt coverings and parapet or valley gutters. These wear thin, crack, or block with debris over decades, letting rainwater seep through into top-floor flats. Because the roof void is often inaccessible, water can travel sideways before it shows as a damp patch several metres from the actual defect.

Rear extensions and perished seals on semis

Semi-detached houses in Streatham Vale and Streatham Park frequently have single-storey rear extensions with flat felt or GRP roofs over kitchens and bathrooms. Perished seals around roof lights, soil pipes and shower trays let water escape gradually into the extension ceiling below, often unnoticed until plasterboard sags or a light fitting shows staining, long after the seal first failed.

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.
