Inspection & Scope of Work
Emergency repair of water-damaged ceiling in a first-floor flat in Lewisham. A leak from the flat above had caused a section of plasterboard (approximately 2m x 1.5m) to become saturated and sag. We cut out the damaged section, treated for mould, installed new plasterboard, and skim finished to match the existing ceiling.
Challenges Encountered
The leak had been ongoing for several days before being caught, resulting in significant water saturation and early signs of mould growth. The repair needed to be completed quickly as the tenant was renting the property.
Our Solution
Isolated the damaged area, removed all affected plasterboard, applied anti-fungal treatment to the joists and surrounding area, allowed to dry, then installed new moisture-resistant plasterboard and skim finished to match the existing ceiling texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you repair a water damaged ceiling?
We can typically assess same-day and complete repairs within 1-2 days, depending on the extent of damage and whether the source of water has been fixed.
Do I need to fix the leak before you can repair the ceiling?
Yes — the source of the water must be fixed before we can repair the ceiling, otherwise the new plasterwork will be damaged again. We can advise but the leak itself should be fixed by a plumber first.
