Part of Ward Property Services UK LtdKingswood's housing is characterised by large detached properties on generous plots, many built between the 1920s and 1970s and extensively remodelled since. Big houses bring big roofs, multiple flat-roofed sections, integral garages, swimming pools, basements and long runs of concealed pipework — and each of those is a plausible source of moisture that a superficial inspection will miss.
The work we do in Kingswood tends to be investigative. Owners often know something is wrong — a smell, an intermittent stain, a section of parquet lifting — without any obvious cause. Thermal imaging, tracer gas and careful moisture mapping usually find it without the destructive opening-up that other contractors resort to.
Local property types
Substantial detached houses predominate, frequently with tile-hung or rendered elevations, flat-roofed link sections, basements or plant rooms, and underfloor heating in later renovations. The Kingswood Warren area and the roads off Waterhouse Lane include period and Arts and Crafts properties. Extensive glazing, orangeries and pool rooms are common and create very particular condensation challenges.
