Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hampstead

Hampstead's housing spans Georgian and Victorian terraces around the village, large detached and semi-detached houses on Frognal and Fitzjohn's Avenue, and 1930s mansion blocks near Swiss Cottage. Many properties are listed, built with solid brick and lime plaster, and have basement conversions, so leaks saturate old masonry and confined voids without the benefit of modern damp-proofing or cavity insulation.

Drying challenges in Hampstead homes

Solid Brick Walls in Listed Georgian and Victorian Homes

Many Hampstead homes around the village and Church Row are listed, built in solid brick finished with lime plaster rather than modern cavity walls. This traditional fabric absorbs water readily after a burst pipe or roof leak, and conservation rules limit impermeable membranes or plasterboard replacement, so drying must rely on slower, breathable methods to stop moisture trapped inside the wall causing mould or lime plaster failure.

Basement and Lower-Ground-Floor Conversions Near the Heath

Semi-detached and terraced houses off Fitzjohn's Avenue and Frognal often have basement or lower-ground-floor conversions used as extra bedrooms or kitchens. Hampstead's elevated, spring-fed ground near the Heath means these below-ground rooms already sit close to damp subsoil, so a leak upstairs or a failed damp-proof course saturates screed and skirting fast, leaving confined spaces that stay wet long after the surface appears dry.

Mansion Blocks and Flats With Shared Timber Floors

Hampstead has numerous 1900s to 1930s mansion blocks around Fitzjohn's Avenue, Frognal and Swiss Cottage, built with suspended timber floors and shared party walls between flats. A leak in one flat can travel through joist voids and skirting into neighbouring properties before it is noticed, so drying needs careful moisture mapping across boundaries, not just the room where the leak started, to stop mould developing unseen in a neighbour's flat.

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 Hampstead?
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.
