Water through your ceiling in Worthing? Here’s how we stop it.
The leak is rarely right above the stain. Water runs along joists and pipes before it shows. We trace it back to the source, stop it, and then our plasterers and decorators repair the ceiling, so you are not hiring a second firm.
- Leak traced to a pipe, shower seal, waste or tank
- Sagging ceilings safely drained before they come down
- Access arranged to the flat above with the owner or agent
- Ceiling replastered, painted and the room put back
Where Worthing ceiling leaks come from
In Worthing’s flats, the water is usually coming from the flat above. A failed shower seal, a loose waste pipe or a leaking washing machine hose upstairs can drip through for days before it shows on your ceiling. If the flat above is empty, rented out or used as a holiday let, getting in can be the hardest part. We can contact the owner or letting agent and arrange access for you.
In bungalows, which are common in Goring-by-Sea, Ferring and High Salvington, there is nobody upstairs. A leak in a bungalow ceiling usually means a pipe, tank or valve in the loft. We check the cold water tank, the pipes to it, and any pipes running across the loft before we touch the ceiling.
Many people in Worthing live alone, and the town has a higher share of over 65s than the national average. A leak that starts at night can go unnoticed until the ceiling bulges. If that is you or a relative, call us as soon as you see a stain. A small leak is a much smaller job than a fallen ceiling.
Once the source is fixed, we make sure the ceiling is dry before it is repaired. Plastering over damp board leads to stains coming back through the new paint.
