Part of Ward Property Services UK LtdWhen water is coming through a ceiling, the first hour matters more than anything that follows. Isolating the supply, cutting power to affected circuits, containing the water and getting extraction started can be the difference between redecorating one room and rebuilding three.
Our emergency service covers Banstead and the surrounding Surrey towns. We attend, make safe, stop or contain the leak, remove standing water and set up initial drying. Once the immediate risk is under control we survey properly and give you a considered plan for detection, repair and reinstatement.
