Leak to dry to treated, one company in Tooting
Tooting's housing stock is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces split into flats, 1930s mansion blocks along Tooting Bec Road, ex-council low-rise estates, and newer developments near Tooting Broadway station. This variety of ages and conversion types means plumbing runs, roof coverings and bathroom waterproofing are often of different eras within the same street, raising the chance of hidden leaks going unnoticed.

Common leaks in Tooting homes
Subdivided Victorian terraces and stacked bathrooms
Many Tooting terraces were converted into upper and lower flats, with bathrooms added above kitchens or living rooms that were never designed to sit beneath plumbing. Perished seals around baths and shower trays, or a cracked waste pipe joint, can send water into the ceiling below for weeks, leaving stained plasterboard and swollen skirting before anyone in the flat below realises there is a problem.
Flat roofs on rear extensions and mansion blocks
Rear kitchen extensions and the flat-roofed sections common on Tooting's 1930s mansion blocks rely on felt or asphalt coverings that degrade with age and weather. Once the surface splits or the flashing lifts at a parapet, water tracks sideways under the membrane and appears well away from the original entry point, often as a damp patch on an internal wall rather than an obvious roof leak.
Ageing supply and waste pipework in converted flats
Properties split into multiple flats during the twentieth century frequently have extended or rerouted pipework hidden within stud walls and under floorboards. Corroded joints, failed compression fittings or a slow escape of water from a concealed pipe can run for a long time in these boxed-in spaces, since there is no visible drip until the water has already tracked into a neighbouring room or flat below.
