Damp patches on the ceiling - not immediately below the roof

You may have a leak from a pipe, especially if the ceiling is below the bathroom. Or you may have a leak from a radiator or water cylinder. You could check the room above the leak to see if there is an obvious cause. If this is another flat, contact the occupant (or click on the link below to report a leak from an empty flat).

If the ceiling is bulging, it might collapse. You can prevent this by making a small hole to let the water out. Don't forget to put a bucket underneath first.

I want to report a water leak in my own home or from an empty flat above.

I want to report this problem but I am not sure of the cause
