Why Cranleigh homes get damp, mould and hidden leaks
Cranleigh calls itself the largest village in England, and it is a high-value area with a wide spread of property. The village centre has period cottages and Victorian terraces with solid walls that are prone to penetrating and rising damp and slow leaks under old floors. Ringing the village are many large detached and executive homes where a small concealed leak can run unnoticed for a long time under solid floors, in utility runs or in en-suite plumbing. Because Cranleigh has no railway and much of the outlying stock is rural and on private drainage, problems can be missed until damage shows. We diagnose the real source first, before anyone starts opening up.
Leak detection for large and rural homes near the Surrey Hills
Many Cranleigh properties are big, individually built houses set in their own grounds near the Surrey Hills, with long pipe runs, underfloor systems and multiple bathrooms — all places a leak can hide. Ripping up floors to find it makes no sense in a high-value home, so we use thermal imaging, acoustic listening and moisture mapping to pinpoint the source and open up only the small area that matters. You get a clear written report for your records, your surveyor or your insurer.

Frequently asked questions — Cranleigh
Can you find a leak in a large house without lifting every floor?
Yes. In big Cranleigh homes with long pipe runs and multiple bathrooms, we use thermal imaging, acoustic listening and moisture mapping to pinpoint the source, then open up only the small spot that matters.
Why is my old Cranleigh cottage damp?
Older solid-wall cottages have no cavity and behave differently to modern homes. We survey properly to tell rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation and a hidden leak apart, then treat the right cause.
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.
My mould keeps coming back — why?
Because mould is a symptom. If the moisture source — a leak, condensation or damp — is not fixed, it returns. We find and fix the cause, then treat the mould.
Do you cover the villages around Cranleigh?
Yes. As well as GU6 we cover Ewhurst, Alfold, Rudgwick, Shamley Green, Wonersh and the surrounding lanes, working out from our Guildford base.
