Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hammersmith
Hammersmith mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park with mansion blocks near the river, converted flats split over several storeys, and post-war and ex-council estates towards White City. Solid brick walls, original lath-and-plaster ceilings, and basement or lower-ground conversions all hold moisture differently, so a burst pipe or roof leak needs a drying approach matched to the specific building rather than a one-size treatment.

Drying challenges in Hammersmith homes
Lath and plaster ceilings in Victorian terraces
Many Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park terraces still have original lath and plaster ceilings and cornicing. When water gets in from a bathroom leak or roof failure above, the plaster swells and can delaminate from the laths, holding water long after the surface looks dry. We monitor moisture through the depth of the material rather than relying on a dry-to-touch surface, so hidden damp doesn't sit and cause a later collapse.
Solid floors and screed in flat conversions
Hammersmith's many converted terraces and mansion blocks near the Broadway and Fulham Palace Road often have solid concrete or screed floors under later timber or tiled finishes. These floors soak up leaked water slowly and release it just as slowly, so a ground-floor flat can feel dry within days while the screed underneath stays saturated for weeks, risking mould and damage to skirting and joinery if drying is stopped too soon.
Trapped moisture in party walls and voids
Shared party walls between neighbouring terraces and flats, common around West Kensington and Barons Court, let moisture travel sideways into voids and neighbouring properties before it is noticed. Cavity and stud walls in later conversions add hidden pockets where damp air stagnates. We check adjoining rooms and wall cavities, not just the room where the leak occurred, to stop secondary mould developing out of sight.
