Who to Call for a Water Leak in the Ceiling

If you've spotted damp patches, water stains, or dripping from your ceiling, you're likely dealing with a water leak — and acting fast can save you thousands in property damage. But who exactly should you call?

What Causes Ceiling Leaks?

Who Should You Call First?

The answer depends on the source of the leak — but in most cases, a leak detection specialist should be your first point of contact. They use non-invasive equipment to pinpoint the source before any damage is done.

How Much Does Ceiling Leak Detection Cost?

Prices vary, but a typical trace and access survey costs between £250–£400, depending on the complexity and location.

Will My Insurance Cover It?

Many UK home insurance policies cover trace and access, but not the cost of repairing the pipe. Always check your policy and call your provider.
