Leak Detection, Trace & Access & Mould Treatment in Kingston upon Thames
Our engineers find hidden leaks in Kingston homes without tearing them apart, investigate damp and mould properly, and write the report your insurer asks for — across KT1 and KT2.
Why Kingston homes get damp, mould and hidden leaks
Kingston is a riverside market town where the housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian villas around Canbury and the London Road, to riverside apartment blocks along the Thames, to a large stock of converted flats and student HMOs near Kingston University. Each has its own weak points. In the period villas we most often trace leaks behind bay windows and chimney breasts and slow concealed pipe leaks under solid ground floors. In the riverside flats it is usually escape of water from a flat above, and in the rented and student conversions it is condensation mould in cold, poorly ventilated rooms. Guessing wastes money — we diagnose the real cause first.
Escape of water in Kingston’s flats
A large part of our Kingston work is flats and apartment blocks, where a leak in one flat shows up as a stain in another. We trace the source non-invasively, work out whether it sits in the demised flat or the communal risers, and give managing agents and leaseholders a clear written report — the evidence needed to sort out who is responsible and to support an insurance claim.

KingstonFAQ
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.
We have a leak from the flat above — can you help? Yes. Escape of water between flats is a lot of our Kingston work. 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.
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.
How fast can you get to Kingston? Kingston is on our doorstep from New Malden, so we can usually attend KT1 and KT2 the same day, and we run genuine 24/7 emergency call-outs.
