Leak to dry to treated, one company in Tufnell Park
Tufnell Park's tree-lined streets are lined with tall Victorian terraces and semi-detached houses from the 1870s and 1880s, most now converted into flats and maisonettes stacked three or four storeys high. Shared pipework, party walls and rear extensions mean a hidden leak in one flat's bathroom or kitchen often surfaces as a stained ceiling in the flat below.

Common leaks in Tufnell Park homes
Leaking flat roof extensions
Many Tufnell Park terraces have single-storey rear extensions and loft conversions finished with flat roofs, often covered in old felt or ageing GRP. Once these coverings perish or split at the joints, rainwater can seep in unnoticed for months, tracking along joists before it appears as a damp patch or bulging ceiling in the room below.
Bathrooms leaking into flats below
With so many Victorian houses split into self-contained flats, an upstairs bathroom often sits directly above another household's kitchen or living room. Perished shower seals, cracked grout or a failed waste pipe under the bath can let water escape through the floor for weeks, causing damage and disputes between leaseholders before anyone traces the source.
Ageing plumbing behind period walls
Original Victorian houses in Tufnell Park were plumbed decades before modern regulations, and many still carry older pipework hidden behind lath and plaster or under floorboards. Corroded joints and perished seals can fail quietly within these voids, with escaping water spreading sideways through solid floors and party walls before any visible sign of a leak appears.

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.
