Leak to dry to treated, one company in East Sheen
East Sheen's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and bay-fronted semis near the common to 1930s suburban semis and mansion blocks along Upper Richmond Road West. Solid brick walls, lime plaster and suspended timber floors sit alongside later cavity construction, so a single leak can behave very differently depending on which street it happens on.

Drying challenges in East Sheen homes
Lime plaster and solid brick walls near East Sheen Common
Many terraces and semis around East Sheen Common and Christ Church still have original lime plaster on solid brick walls. This material is breathable by design, so sealing it with modern gypsum finishes or rushing the dry traps moisture inside the wall. We use slow, monitored drying suited to older solid-wall construction, checking moisture readings before any replastering begins.
Enclosed subfloor voids in 1930s semis
The 1930s semis found throughout East Sheen typically have suspended timber ground floors over shallow, poorly ventilated voids. A burst pipe or washing machine leak can pool under the boards unnoticed, soaking joists and leaving stagnant damp air trapped below. We lift boards where needed and force air through the void directly, rather than just drying the visible room above.
Saturated screed in mansion block flats on Upper Richmond Road West
Flats in the mansion blocks and converted properties along Upper Richmond Road West and towards North Sheen often sit on solid concrete screed floors. Once water gets beneath the surface finish it becomes trapped, drying slowly and risking damage to the flat below through shared floor structures. We use screed-specific drying equipment and moisture mapping to confirm the slab is dry before reinstatement.

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

Was lovely working with the team and they did a fantastic and quick job to get all the mould out of my bathroom. Very much looking forward to working with them on other projects around my house!! Thank you for everything and shout out to Karim for being so sweet!
