Leak to dry to treated, one company in Mortlake

Mortlake's housing runs from riverside Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the Thames towpath to 1930s semis further back from the water, plus newer flats built on the former Stag Brewery site. Solid brick walls, suspended timber ground floors and a genuine tidal flood risk along the river frontage mean saturation and trapped moisture behave differently street by street.

Drying challenges in Mortlake homes

Riverside flooding along the Thames towpath

Properties on Thames Bank and the streets running down towards the river sit close to tidal flood risk, and older cottages here often have solid floors laid directly on the ground with little damp-proofing by modern standards. Once floodwater or a burst main gets in, moisture tracks up through brickwork and under skirting, so drying has to reach beyond the visible waterline to stop it resurfacing weeks later.

Solid-wall Victorian and Edwardian terraces

Much of Mortlake's core, around the High Street and side roads towards East Sheen, is solid brick terraces with no cavity and original lath-and-plaster internal walls. A leak here saturates plaster and timber lath together, and because there is no cavity to vent moisture, it stays trapped in the wall build-up, encouraging mould behind skirting and around chimney breasts if drying is rushed or incomplete.

New-build flats on the former brewery site

The redevelopment of the Stag Brewery site has brought concrete screed floors and modern floating floor systems into Mortlake's housing mix, alongside similar blocks near the station. A washing machine or pipe failure on these floors can leave moisture trapped beneath the screed or insulation layer for a long time, since it cannot evaporate upward through sealed finishes without proper extraction and monitored drying.

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 Mortlake?
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.
