Whose leak is it?
A stain on the ceiling is where the water ends up, not where it starts. Finding the source is what decides who fixes it and who pays.
Tracing the Source
The flat above, a shared pipe, or the roof.
Most ceiling leaks come from the bathroom or kitchen of the flat above — a shower seal, a waste pipe or a supply pipe. Some come from a shared column or, on the top floor, from the roof.
We check with the neighbour or building administrator and find which it is.
- Neighbour contacted
- Shared pipes checked
- Source confirmed
- Photos taken
What Happens Next
Repair at the source, then the damage.
The leak is repaired where it starts. Once the ceiling has dried, the damaged area can be repaired and painted — we tell you how long to wait so the stain does not come back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do right now?
Put a bucket under the drip, switch off lights on that ceiling if water is near them, and let the neighbour above know. Take photos.
Who pays for the damage?
Normally whoever is responsible for the pipe that leaked — often through home insurance. Our written report helps settle it.
My neighbour will not open the door.
Tell the building administrator. We can sometimes confirm the source from shared areas while access is arranged.
