Leak to dry to treated, one company in Putney

Putney's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around West Hill and East Putney to riverside mansion blocks along the embankment and mid-century flats towards Roehampton and Putney Vale. This mix of solid-wall period brick, timber suspended floors and Thames-facing lower ground levels means water from a leak or flood behaves differently property to property, often tracking further into fabric than owners expect before it surfaces as damp or mould.

Drying challenges in Putney homes

Riverside and embankment flood exposure

Properties along Putney's Thames embankment and Lower Richmond Road sit close to river level, so ground floor flats and lower ground rooms are vulnerable when tidal surges or heavy rain overwhelm drainage. Water pushes into skirting, plaster and flooring quickly, and salts left behind after a river-related flood can keep drawing moisture back into walls long after the property looks dry.

Victorian terraces with suspended timber floors

Many East Putney and West Hill terraces retain original suspended timber ground floors over ventilated voids. A burst pipe or roof leak can send water beneath floorboards where it pools unseen, softening joists and skirting while lath-and-plaster walls above absorb moisture sideways, making these leaks far slower and harder to dry than they first appear.

Mansion block and conversion flats with shared voids

Putney's mansion blocks and subdivided period conversions near the town centre and Putney Bridge share floor voids, party walls and communal risers between flats. A leak on one floor can spread moisture sideways into a neighbour's plaster or subfloor, meaning drying and mould control often needs coordinating across more than one flat to stop it recurring.

What our customers say

★★★★★

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 Putney?
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.
