At Ceiling Repair, we deliver expert ceiling restoration services for homes, rental properties, and commercial spaces and across the UK.

Whether the damage is caused by leaks, structural issues, or ageing materials, we diagnose the problem, carry out repairs, and restore your ceiling to a safe, dry, and visually seamless condition.

How Is Ceiling Repair Carried Out?

Professional ceiling repair begins with a detailed assessment to identify the source and extent of the damage. We use diagnostic tools like thermal imaging and moisture detection to locate hidden issues behind surfaces.

Once identified, we remove affected materials as needed and resolve the underlying cause—whether structural, plumbing, or environmental. We then dry and treat the area before completing full restoration, which may include plastering, repainting, or insulation repair.

What Are The Most Common Causes Of Ceiling Damage?

Ceiling damage often stems from a variety of sources, such as:

• Roof problems – Loose tiles, flashing failure, or punctures from debris.
• Plumbing leaks – Faulty joints, burst pipes, or drain blockages above the ceiling.
• Bathroom moisture – Shower or bath leaks through worn seals or damaged bases.
• HVAC system issues – Condensation or blocked lines from air conditioning units.
• Poor drainage – Overflowing gutters or flat roof pooling leading to water seepage.

How Much Does Ceiling Repair Cost?

Ceiling repair costs range from £150 for minor fixes to over £2,000 for complex structural or roof-related work.

Pricing depends on the cause, severity, and location of damage, with plumbing and roofing repairs typically costing more. Access requirements and surface restoration also influence the final quote.

Can Ceiling Damage Lead To Structural or Mould Problems?

Untreated ceiling damage can result in mould growth, which poses health risks and spreads rapidly.

Continuous moisture can weaken timber, plaster, and insulation, potentially causing ceiling collapse or electrical hazards. Prompt repair prevents further deterioration and protects building integrity.

What Should You Do If You Discover Ceiling Damage?

If you notice ceiling damage or water ingress, place containers to catch drips and remove any nearby furniture or electronics.

If water is near electrical fittings, switch off power at the fuse box. Avoid tampering with the ceiling, especially if sagging or bulging, and contact a repair specialist immediately. Take photos for insurance records.

Does Home Insurance Cover Ceiling Repair?

In many cases, home insurance covers ceiling repairs for sudden or accidental damage like burst pipes or storm-related roof issues.

Long-term or maintenance-related damage may not be eligible. We provide documentation and assessments to support valid insurance claims.

What Are The Signs That You Need Ceiling Repair?

Indicators that a ceiling needs repair include:

• Water staining – Brown or yellow patches on the surface.
• Peeling or bubbling paint – Signs of moisture beneath the finish.
• Bulging or sagging – Structure changes due to internal water accumulation.
• Drips or damp spots – Evidence of ongoing or recent water intrusion.
• Musty smell – Damp odour suggesting hidden leaks or mould.
• Mould growth – Black or green spots around ceiling edges.
• Peeling wallpaper – Moisture spreading to adjoining surfaces.
• Uneven texture – Warping or swelling in the ceiling surface.

How Long Does Ceiling Repair Take?

For ceiling repairs, emergency stabilisation can be completed within hours, while full repair and drying may take one to three days.

Final restoration, including plastering, painting, or insulation, typically adds another one to two days.
