Leak to dry to treated, one company in West Ham

West Ham's housing stock is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Plaistow and Upton Park, post-war council estates near Stratford and Canning Town, and newer riverside and regeneration flats close to the Olympic Park. Solid brick terraces with suspended timber floors sit alongside concrete-framed blocks, so a single leak can behave very differently depending on which street it happens on.

Drying challenges in West Ham homes

Lath and plaster walls in Victorian terraces

Many West Ham terraces off Barking Road and Plaistow's older streets still have original lath and plaster internal walls. When a pipe or roof leak soaks these, the plaster can hold water long after surfaces feel dry, and lime-based renders release moisture slowly. Drying too fast with high heat causes cracking and blown plaster, so we use slower, monitored dehumidification to protect the original fabric while removing trapped moisture.

Solid concrete floors in post-war council blocks

Estates around Stratford and Canning Town built in the mid twentieth century commonly have solid concrete or screed ground floors laid directly onto the earth. Once water gets under skirtings or through cracked screed, it becomes trapped with nowhere to evaporate, keeping the slab damp for weeks. We use surface drying mats and injection points to draw moisture out of the screed itself, not just the air above it.

Flat conversions with shared voids and risers

West Ham has a large number of Victorian houses split into flats, plus newer riverside developments with service risers and boxed-in pipework. A leak in one unit often tracks sideways through joist voids or service ducts into neighbouring flats before anyone notices, encouraging hidden mould growth. Thorough moisture mapping across adjoining units, not just the reported leak point, is essential to stop repeat damp problems returning.

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 West Ham?
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.
