Water stain on the ceiling

It often comes from the flat above: a bathroom, a sink or a riser. Send a photo of the stain. You do not need to open the ceiling.

What it usually is

  • A leak in the bathroom above.
  • A riser sweating in the stairwell.
  • A joint that only leaks when someone showers.

What you can safely do now

  • Move anything underneath.
  • If it is dripping, put a bowl there.
  • Tell the neighbour above or the property manager. Take photos for the insurer.

When it's urgent

It is urgent if the ceiling is bulging, water is running, or a light fitting is wet. Do not switch that light on.
