Why Addlestone homes get damp, mould and hidden leaks
Addlestone is a Runnymede town with a mixed housing stock and a recently regenerated centre. There are Victorian and Edwardian houses in the older streets, plenty of 1930s and post-war semis through Ongar Place and New Haw, and a large crop of new-build flats and apartments around The Wharf development by the station. The River Bourne and the Wey Navigation run through the town, so lower-lying properties can carry a higher water table. In practice we trace escape of water in the new-build blocks, condensation mould in tightly sealed modern flats, and rising or penetrating damp in the older homes. We diagnose the real cause with a damp and mould survey before anyone opens a wall.
New-build flats, escape of water and condensation
Modern flats bring their own problems. Tightly sealed, well-insulated new-builds trap moisture, so condensation mould appears where ventilation is poor. And in any apartment block, escape of water shows up as a stain in the flat below. We carry out non-invasive trace and access, establish whether a leak is demised or communal, and give leaseholders and managing agents a clear written report to support an insurance claim.

Frequently asked questions — Addlestone
My new-build flat has mould — how does that happen?
Modern flats are tightly sealed and well insulated, which traps moisture. Where ventilation is poor, condensation mould appears. We find the moisture source, then treat the mould and advise on ventilation.
We have a leak from the flat above — can you help?
Yes. Escape of water between flats is common in Addlestone’s apartment blocks. We trace the source, establish whether it is demised or communal, and document it for the freeholder, managing agent and insurer.
Will my insurance pay for the work?
Trace and access may be covered under buildings insurance, depending on the policy. We provide insurance-ready reports and evidence to support the claim.
Can you find a leak without smashing the house up?
Yes — that is the point of professional leak detection. We use thermal imaging, acoustic listening and moisture mapping to pinpoint it, then open up only the spot that matters.
How fast can you get to Addlestone?
Addlestone sits right on our north Surrey routes near the M25, so we can usually attend KT15 the same day, and we run genuine 24/7 emergency call-outs.
