Water coming through a Crawley ceiling? Here’s how we deal with it.
In a Crawley semi the bathroom often sits right above the kitchen, so a small leak shows up downstairs fast. In flats and maisonettes the source may be in someone else’s home. We confirm where the water is coming from before anything is opened up.
- Leak traced to pipework, waste, shower seal or roof
- Sagging ceilings drained down safely
- Neighbouring flat checked with the occupier’s agreement
- Source repaired and confirmed dry
- Plaster, ceilings and decorating made good
Ceiling leaks in Crawley flats and houses
Many Crawley homes follow the same post-war layout: kitchen at the back downstairs, bathroom straight above it. That keeps the pipe runs short, but it means a leaking bath waste, toilet seal or shower tray drips onto the kitchen ceiling within hours.
Each new town neighbourhood was built with a parade of shops, and many parades have flats or maisonettes above them. There are also low-rise blocks across the town. In these buildings the leak is often coming from the flat above, or from a shared pipe in a riser. We can talk to the neighbour or the managing agent, and find the source without opening up more ceiling than we need to.
Some 1960s and 1970s houses have flat-roofed extensions, porches or garages. When a ceiling leak only appears after rain, the roof covering may be the cause rather than a pipe. We check for that first, so you do not pay a plumber to look for a leak that is not there.
If you rent from Crawley Borough Council or a housing association, report the leak to them as well. In an emergency we can stop the water and leave you a written note of what we found.
