A leak is not over when the water stops. Mould can start within 48 hours, so we find the source, dry the structure and treat any mould, all with one company. We hire the drying equipment for the days or weeks it takes. Call 020 3051 8478.

Leak to dry to treated, one company in Crawley

Crawley's housing stock reflects its New Town origins, with 1950s-60s system-built and concrete-panel estates around Northgate, Langley Green and Bewbush sitting alongside older cottages in Ifield village and Victorian terraces near Three Bridges. This mix of flat-roofed council-era construction, solid brick pre-war homes and denser modern infill at Maidenbower and Forge Wood each traps and moves moisture differently once water gets in.

Drying challenges in Crawley homes

Concrete and system-built estate walls

Large parts of Crawley, particularly around Bewbush, Broadfield and Langley Green, were built using concrete panel and system-build methods typical of 1950s-70s New Town expansion. These walls behave very differently to solid brick, often holding moisture within the panel joints and internal skim long after a leak, with damp tracking sideways behind plaster rather than drying straight through, which standard surface drying can miss entirely.

Flat-roofed properties and hidden ingress

Many Crawley homes and maisonettes built through the New Town era, especially in Northgate, Southgate and parts of Gossops Green, feature flat or low-pitch felt roofs. Leaks here frequently run along joists before showing as a ceiling stain, soaking loft insulation and timber en route, so by the time damage is visible indoors the saturation has already spread well beyond the obvious entry point.

Mixed-age subfloors and screed depth

Crawley's housing spans Victorian solid floors in Three Bridges and Ifield village through to 1980s screeded slabs in Pound Hill and Furnace Green. Screed thickness and subfloor construction vary street by street, meaning drying times and moisture readings that suit one road can be badly wrong for the next, particularly where later extensions have buried older floors under newer, denser finishes.

Tip: Painting or plastering over a wall that is still wet inside traps the moisture and the mould comes back. Drying to a measured moisture target first means the repair lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How long does structural drying take in Crawley?
Most domestic drying takes one to three weeks depending on how wet the structure is and the materials. We monitor moisture levels and confirm when it is genuinely dry.
Can I hire dehumidifiers from you?
Yes. We supply, install and monitor commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, hired by the day or week for as long as the drying takes.
Will you find the leak that caused it?
Yes. We can trace the source with non-destructive leak detection first, so you are not drying out a property that is still getting wet.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. Drying comes with moisture logs and a written report formatted for insurers and managing agents.
