Leak to dry to treated, one company in Wood Street

Wood Street's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted into flats, alongside interwar semis and pockets of ex-local authority blocks near the station. Original single-brick bay roofs, flat-roofed rear additions and shared plumbing stacks in converted properties all age poorly, making hidden leaks from failed joints and worn roof coverings a recurring problem for owners and landlords alike.

Areas of Wood Street we cover

We attend leaks right across Wood Street and its neighbourhoods, including:

Common leaks in Wood Street homes

Flat roof extensions over Victorian kitchens

Many Wood Street terraces have had rear kitchen extensions added with flat felt or GRP roofs, often decades old. Once the covering perishes or flashing pulls away from the original brickwork, water tracks slowly along joists before showing as a stain on the ceiling below, meaning the leak can have been running for weeks before anyone notices.

Converted flats with stacked bathrooms

Where Victorian houses near Wood Street have been split into flats, bathrooms are frequently stacked directly above ground floor rooms. A failed shower tray seal, cracked grout or a worn waste pipe connection on an upper floor lets water seep through the floor void, often surfacing as damp patches or bubbling paint in the flat below rather than at the source.

Ageing plumbing in ex-local authority blocks

The ex-local authority blocks and low-rise flats around Wood Street often retain original copper or early plastic plumbing runs concealed within solid floors and boxed-in ducts. Perished pipe joints or a slow escape of water from a corroded fitting can travel through common risers unseen, sometimes affecting a neighbouring flat before the leak is ever traced to its actual source.

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.
