Our Ceiling Repair Process
Source Identification
Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to trace the water source, whether from a roof leak, burst pipe, overflowing fixture, or condensation issue.
Controlled Water Removal
Water is carefully drained from the ceiling space in a controlled manner to prevent sudden collapse, protecting your furnishings and flooring below.
Structural Assessment
A thorough assessment of ceiling joists, battens, and plasterboard integrity determines the extent of damage and required repairs.
Ceiling Restoration
Damaged sections are replaced with matching materials, sealed, primed, and painted to achieve a seamless finish matching your existing ceiling.

Ceiling Water Damage Warning Signs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my ceiling has water damage?
Common signs include brown or yellowish stains, sagging or bulging areas, bubbling or peeling paint, visible dripping, mould spots, and a musty odour. If you notice any of these, contact a professional immediately.
Is a water-stained ceiling dangerous?
Yes, it can be. Water-damaged ceilings can collapse without warning, especially plasterboard ceilings. Water near electrical wiring also creates electrocution risks. Do not ignore ceiling water stains.
Can you repair a ceiling without replacing it entirely?
In many cases, yes. If the damage is localised, we can cut out and replace only the affected section with matching plasterboard, then blend the finish. Severe or widespread damage may require full replacement.
How quickly can you attend to ceiling water damage?
We offer same-day service for ceiling water damage emergencies. Our technicians arrive equipped with moisture detection tools, temporary supports, and extraction equipment.
Will my insurance cover ceiling water damage?
Most home insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage to ceilings, such as from burst pipes or storm damage. We provide detailed documentation with moisture readings and photos for your claim.
