Part of Ward Property Services UK LtdWallington is where we are based, at SBC House on Restmor Way, so it is the area we know best and reach fastest. For an active leak in a Wallington home we can often be on site within the hour, which materially reduces the eventual repair cost.
The town's housing is predominantly Edwardian and inter-war, with a substantial number of converted flats along the roads near the station and Woodcote Road. Conversions are worth singling out: when a house is divided into flats, bathrooms and kitchens frequently end up above habitable rooms with pipework routed through original floor voids, which is why we attend so many inter-floor leaks here.
Local property types
Wallington grew rapidly in the Edwardian period and between the wars, so the core stock is bay-fronted terraces and semis with cavity or early cavity walls, alongside larger Edwardian villas around Woodcote and Beddington. Many of those villas are now flats. Beddington and the roads towards Hackbridge include post-war housing and light industrial conversions. Sub-floor voids are generally shallow, and airbrick blockage from raised gardens is widespread.
