Leak to dry to treated, one company in Welling

Welling is dominated by 1930s interwar semi-detached and terraced housing, built rapidly as London expanded along the Bexleyheath line, alongside pockets of ex-council flats near Welling Corner and later bungalows towards Blackfen. The age of the original pipework, combined with decades of loft conversions, rear kitchen extensions and retrofitted bathrooms, means hidden leaks are common where old and new plumbing meet.

Common leaks in Welling homes

Flat-roofed kitchen and bay extensions

Many Welling semis on roads off Bellegrove Road and around Welling High Street gained single-storey flat-roofed kitchen extensions or box bay roofs during the 1960s to 1980s. Felt and asphalt coverings on these low-pitch roofs perish with age and UV exposure, letting water track along joists and down into wall cavities long before a ceiling stain gives the game away.

Bathrooms built above older kitchens

Where 1930s Welling semis have had a second bathroom fitted upstairs, directly above the original kitchen, shower trays and bath seals often sit on floor structures never designed for wet rooms. Perished silicone or a cracked tray seal lets water seep through the floor void into the kitchen ceiling below, frequently mistaken for a roof leak when the source is actually plumbing above.

Ageing pipework in ex-council flats and maisonettes

The post-war flats and maisonettes around Welling Corner and Wickham Street rely on original or partially replaced plumbing runs, often boxed into stud walls between adjoining units. A failed joint or split pipe can leak sideways into a neighbouring flat, making escape of water claims here harder to trace than in a standalone house and prone to prolonged hidden damage.

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.
