Water coming through a ceiling is one of the most alarming plumbing emergencies — and one of the most damaging. A ceiling holding pooled water can sag, bulge and eventually collapse, so it needs a fast response.
The leak is almost always coming from above: a burst pipe, an overflowing tank, a failed seal on a bath or shower, or a leaking radiator or toilet upstairs. We trace it to its source, stop the water, and make the repair — then help you deal with the damage to the ceiling and anything underneath.
If the ceiling is bulging or water is near light fittings, stay out of the room and call us straight away. We cover the whole TW area around the clock, and we’ll photograph and document everything for your insurer.
What to do right now
- Turn off your main stop tap (clockwise) to stop the water supply.
- Switch off electrics to the affected room at the consumer unit if water is near lights or sockets.
- Put a bucket under the worst of the drip — but do NOT stand under a bulging ceiling.
- Call us immediately — a sagging, water-filled ceiling can come down.
