Leak to dry to treated, one company in Greenwich

Greenwich mixes Georgian and Victorian terraces around Crooms Hill and West Greenwich with post-war estates in Kidbrooke and glass-fronted riverside developments on the Peninsula. Solid brick walls, lime plaster and timber suspended floors sit close to modern concrete-slab flats near the Thames, so a single leak can behave very differently from one street to the next, and drying strategies must match the building type.

Drying challenges in Greenwich homes

Lime plaster and solid walls in West Greenwich and Crooms Hill

Conservation-area terraces near Crooms Hill and the town centre were built with solid brick walls and lime plaster rather than modern cavity construction. These materials absorb water readily and hold it deep within the wall structure. Standard fast drying can crack lime finishes or draw salts to the surface, so equipment and airflow must be set carefully to protect original plasterwork while still removing trapped moisture.

Suspended timber floors over unventilated voids

Many Victorian and Georgian houses off West Greenwich and Maze Hill have suspended timber ground floors sitting over shallow voids with limited airbricks. When a leak or flood tracks under the boards, water pools in these voids largely out of sight, softening joists and encouraging mould growth. Detecting and drying this hidden moisture needs floor void monitoring, not just surface checks on visible flooring.

Concrete screed and underfloor heating on the Peninsula

Newer riverside flats on Greenwich Peninsula and around East Greenwich are built on dense concrete screed, often with underfloor heating pipework embedded beneath. A leak here saturates the screed itself, which releases moisture slowly and can take considerably longer to dry than timber. Heating loops also complicate where sensors and extraction points can safely be placed during the drying process.

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: 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 Greenwich?
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.
