Leak to dry to treated, one company in West Ham

West Ham's housing spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Plaistow and Upton Park, post-war council estates, converted flats above shops, and new-build blocks near Stratford's regeneration zone. This mix of ageing brickwork, flat-roof rear additions and densely subdivided properties creates numerous hidden pathways for water to travel unseen between floors and neighbouring homes.

Areas of West Ham we cover

We attend leaks right across West Ham and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in West Ham homes

Flat-roof extensions on Victorian terraces

Many terraced houses around Plaistow and Upton Park have single-storey rear extensions with flat felt or asphalt roofs added decades ago. These coverings perish, crack and lose their fall over time, letting rainwater seep silently into the ceiling void below. Because the leak often tracks sideways along joists before staining appears, occupants may notice damp smells or bulging plaster long before the actual entry point becomes obvious.

Converted flats with stacked bathrooms

Much of West Ham's Victorian stock has been split into flats, meaning bathrooms sit directly above other households' ceilings. Failed shower trays, cracked grout or perished pipe seals allow water to escape through floorboards into the flat beneath, often for weeks before a tenant reports staining. Shared freeholds and multiple occupants can delay access, letting escape of water spread further into joists and neighbouring walls.

Concealed pipework in newer Stratford developments

Newer apartment blocks near Stratford and the Olympic Park boundary route plumbing through boxed-in risers, under screed floors or behind bathroom pods. When a joint fails or a seal perishes, water can travel through service ducts and affect several floors before any sign reaches a visible surface, making the true source of a leak difficult to trace without opening up finishes.

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.
