Leak to dry to treated, one company in West Wickham
West Wickham is dominated by 1930s semi-detached and detached houses built during the borough's interwar expansion, many with later rear kitchen extensions, loft conversions and garden bathrooms bolted on over the decades. This patchwork of original brickwork meeting newer additions creates junctions, flat roofs and retrofitted pipework that are common weak points for slow, hidden water leaks.

Common leaks in West Wickham homes
Flat-roofed rear extensions leaking into ceilings
Many West Wickham semis around Coney Hall and Pickhurst Green have single-storey kitchen or utility extensions finished with flat felt or GRP roofs. These coverings degrade with age and rarely fail obviously, instead allowing rainwater to seep along joists and down internal walls for months. Homeowners often notice only a musty smell or a discoloured ceiling patch long after the leak began, by which point insulation and plasterboard are already saturated.
Bathrooms leaking through solid floors to rooms below
Interwar houses in Wickham Chase and Glebe Way typically have first-floor bathrooms sitting directly above kitchens or living rooms with solid floors between them. Perished silicone seals around baths and shower trays let water track under the tray and through the floor deck rather than pooling visibly, so damage often shows up as bubbling paint or a sagging ceiling downstairs well before residents suspect the bathroom itself.
Failed pipework in loft conversions
Loft conversions are common across West Wickham's larger 1930s houses, often adding en suites and rerouted plumbing through previously unheated roof spaces. Joints and cold water tanks up there are prone to slow failure or condensation-related escape of water, and because the loft is rarely visited, leaks can run for weeks, tracking down through the structure and damaging bedroom ceilings and wiring before being discovered.
