Leak to dry to treated, one company in Ealing
Ealing's housing spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces around West Ealing and Northfields, 1930s semis near Hanger Hill and Pitshanger, mansion block conversions close to Ealing Broadway, and newer flats built above Crossrail-era developments. Solid brick walls, suspended timber floors and shared conversion voids each hold water differently after a leak, meaning drying strategies have to be matched to the specific build rather than treated uniformly.

Drying challenges in Ealing homes
Suspended timber floors in Victorian terraces
Many terraces around West Ealing and Northfields still have original suspended timber ground floors over shallow voids. A burst pipe or overflowing bath sends water beneath the boards, where it sits against joists and sleeper walls out of sight. Left unchecked, this saturates timber, encourages rot and lets mould spread through the underfloor void before it ever shows upstairs.
Cavity walls trapping moisture in 1930s semis
The 1930s semi-detached houses common around Pitshanger and Hanger Hill were built with cavity walls, often with later-added insulation. Water entering through a roof leak or plumbing fault can track down inside the cavity, soaking insulation and rendering it useless while leaving the outer brickwork looking dry, so the damage stays hidden until plaster internally begins to blow.
Shared voids in converted flats near Ealing Broadway
Period houses near Ealing Broadway and South Ealing have frequently been split into flats, creating shared floor and ceiling voids between units. A leak on an upper floor can saturate screed and joists that serve the flat below, spreading moisture across two households at once and making it harder to trace the source or dry the structure without disturbing neighbouring properties.
What our customers say
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.
