Leak to dry to treated, one company in Westerham

Westerham's housing stock ranges from timber framed and Wealden cottages around the historic square to Victorian villas, 1930s semis and newer estates on the town's edges. Many older properties have been extended, reroofed or had bathrooms added over the decades, creating awkward junctions between old and new construction where pipework, flashings and seals are prone to failure and hidden leaks.

Common leaks in Westerham homes

Old cottages with hidden lead and lime mortar pipework

Westerham's older cottages near the Green and along the High Street often retain original lead supply pipes or later additions run through solid lime mortar walls. Corrosion and settlement cracking let water track silently behind plaster, and because these walls absorb moisture readily, a small failed joint can go unnoticed for weeks before staining or a musty smell finally gives it away.

Flat roof extensions leaking into rooms below

Many extended homes around Westerham and Brasted gained flat roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions during the 1970s and 1980s. Felt and asphalt coverings degrade with age and UV exposure, and perished upstands or blocked outlets allow rainwater to seep through the deck. The water often travels sideways along joists before dripping down internally, so the visible damp patch rarely sits above the actual defect.

En suite bathrooms added above older ceilings

Many semis and cottages around Westerham and Sundridge have had en suite bathrooms squeezed into former box rooms. Shower trays and waste pipes sit on joists never designed for wet rooms, and perished sealant around trays or tiles lets water escape gradually into the floor void. It typically surfaces as a ceiling stain or sagging plasterboard in the room below, long after the seal first failed.

What our customers say

Excellent
Rated 4.9 / 5 based on 19 reviews on
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.
