Damp, Mould & Leak Detection in Stratford

Local Damp & Mould Specialists in Stratford
Stratford has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations of any London neighbourhood since the 2012 Olympics, with the construction of thousands of new-build apartments around the Olympic Park, Westfield Stratford City and the surrounding regeneration zone. Alongside this new development, older Victorian terraced streets remain in the southern and western parts of E15, providing a contrast in building age, construction and the types of damp and moisture problems that arise.
In the new-build residential towers that now characterise Stratford’s skyline, the most common damp and moisture complaints relate to flat roofs, balcony waterproofing failures, and water ingress through window and curtain wall junctions. In the older Victorian terraced streets, rising damp and penetrating damp remain the dominant problems. Below-ground car parks and retail podiums in large mixed-use developments also regularly develop water ingress issues as waterproofing membranes age.

Common Damp & Mould Problems in Stratford
Flat roof and balcony waterproofing failures are among the most frequently reported issues in Stratford’s post-2010 residential towers, particularly in buildings where balcony drainage has become blocked or where the original waterproofing was not installed to the required standard. In the Victorian terraced streets around Maryland, West Ham Lane and the older parts of Forest Gate, rising damp and condensation mould in ground-floor rooms are regular findings. Water ingress in below-ground car parks and service areas of large mixed-use schemes around the Olympic Park is also a common specialist survey instruction we receive in E15.

What types of damp do you treat here?
We treat all types of damp: rising damp (ground moisture rising through walls), penetrating damp (moisture entering through external walls or roof), condensation damp (from poor ventilation), and leak-related damp from plumbing or drainage failures. Every survey identifies the root cause before treatment is recommended.
Are your reports written for insurers and solicitors?
Yes. All our damp surveys, mould inspections and leak detection reports are written in a clear, evidence-based format for insurers, and for solicitors handling property disputes and conveyancing. Reports include full photographic evidence.
Do you provide reports suitable as supporting evidence for housing, landlord or compliance matters?
Yes. We provide reports suitable as supporting evidence for housing, landlord or compliance matters investigation and remediation reports for landlords and housing associations across our coverage area. Under the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023, social landlords must investigate and act on damp and mould within strict timeframes. Our reports document every stage of the inspection and treatment process.
What is the typical cost of a damp survey?
Every non-invasive inspection is quoted before we attend and includes a written report with moisture readings and photographic evidence. Trace and access, pressure testing, invasive works and remedial works are quoted based on the job. Call 0800 054 1524 for a quote specific to your property.
Water Infrastructure in Stratford
Stratford is served by Thames Water for both water supply and sewerage. When Thames Water mains pipes fail (particularly the Victorian-era cast iron infrastructure common across South and East London), the resulting ground saturation can cause significant water ingress into nearby properties. If you have experienced unexplained damp following a Thames Water mains burst or repair in your area, our independent investigation reports establish the connection between the infrastructure event and damage to your property, supporting both Thames Water claims and buildings insurance claims.
