Leak to dry to treated, one company in Tower Hill
Tower Hill's housing stock ranges from converted Victorian warehouses and former dock buildings to modern high-rise apartment blocks around St Katharine Docks and Minories. Many properties sit above commercial units or share communal risers and flat roofs, so a single failed seal or pipe run can affect several flats at once, often before any damage is visible below.

Common leaks in Tower Hill homes
Converted warehouse flats and failed flat roofs
Many Tower Hill apartments occupy old dock warehouses with flat or low-pitch roofs retrofitted during conversion. These roofs rely on membrane seals that degrade with age and weather exposure, letting water track sideways along joists before it appears as a ceiling stain. Because the original structure wasn't designed for modern roofing systems, leaks often develop slowly and go unnoticed until timber and plasterboard are already saturated.
Stacked bathrooms in high-rise blocks
The high-rise developments near St Katharine Docks and Minories stack bathrooms directly above one another, sharing service ducts and waste pipes. A perished shower seal or cracked tray on an upper floor frequently escapes through the floor void into the ceiling below, sometimes several flats down. Residents often only discover the source once a lower-floor neighbour reports staining, by which point the leak may have been running for weeks.
Ageing plumbing behind period features
Older buildings around Trinity Square and Fenchurch Street retain original brickwork and cornicing, with plumbing later chased into walls or boxed beneath floors. These pipes and joints were never designed for today's water pressure and usage, so failures at soldered joints or old seals often stay hidden behind period finishes, causing damp patches and swollen skirting long before any visible drip appears.

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.
