Leak to dry to treated, one company in Vauxhall

Vauxhall's housing stock ranges from converted Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Stockwell and Kennington to postwar council estates and the new riverside towers of Nine Elms and St George Wharf. This mix means ageing lead and cast iron pipework, flat roofs on low-rise blocks, and complex plumbing risers in high-rises, all prone to hidden leaks.

Common leaks in Vauxhall homes

Concealed riser leaks in the Nine Elms towers

Vauxhall's cluster of riverside high-rises around Nine Elms and St George Wharf conceal plumbing risers and branch pipework within service ducts and behind cladding. When a joint fails several floors up, water can travel unseen through cavities before surfacing as a stain in a flat several floors below, making the true source difficult to trace without specialist leak detection equipment.

Perished flat roofs on postwar estates

South Lambeth and Kennington contain numerous 1960s and 1970s council-built low-rise blocks with flat felt or asphalt roofs, many now well beyond their intended lifespan. Once the covering perishes or blisters, rainwater seeps through the deck and tracks along joists before dripping into the ceiling of the flat below, often appearing far from the actual point of failure and worsening with each storm.

Bathrooms leaking through converted terrace floors

Many of the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Stockwell and around Vauxhall have been split into flats, stacking bathrooms above ground-floor rooms. Perished sealant around baths and shower trays, or a cracked waste pipe joint, lets water seep through original floorboards and lath-and-plaster ceilings into the flat below, causing staining, sagging plaster and damp long before residents realise there is a problem.

★★★★★

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.

Tarik Barak, via Google

★★★★★

Clearly communication, easy to deal with and responsive. We would thoroughly recommend. The report was really detailed making our buying negotiations a lot stronger and leaving us with a clear plan of action with possible timeframes.

Ramani Young, via Google

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.
