CEILING LEAKAGE REPAIR: SOURCE FIRST

Most ceiling repairs we see start with water. A ceiling repaired under an active leak simply gets wet again, so the order matters: find and fix the source, let the slab dry, then repair the ceiling.

  • In flats and condos the source is usually the bathroom, kitchen or pipes of the unit above. Our water leakage repair service traces and fixes it.
  • If the bathroom above is yours, as in a landed house or maisonette, the fix may be toilet and bathroom leakage repair or full re-waterproofing.
  • On top floors and in landed homes, check the roof, gutters and flashing.

For the practical steps, read our guides to ceiling repair after a leak and to dealing with a ceiling leak from the upstairs unit, including documenting the problem and the joint inspection with your neighbour.

PLASTER CEILINGS VS FALSE CEILINGS

Plastered concrete ceilings are the underside of the slab with a skim coat and paint. Repairs are about the surface, unless rust or bulging points to spalling in the concrete itself.

False ceilings are boards on a metal frame hung below the slab, often with downlights, cove lighting and aircon trunking above. Repairs may mean replacing boards, checking the frame for rust, and reinstating neatly around lights and access panels. If you are redoing the ceiling anyway, our false ceiling installation page covers board types and layouts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is my ceiling sagging?

Ceiling sagging is usually caused by water damage weakening the plaster, or structural issues with the ceiling support. We assess and repair both the ceiling and underlying cause.

Should I repair or replace a damaged ceiling?

It depends on the extent of damage. Localized damage can often be repaired. Extensive damage or repeated issues may warrant full replacement for better long-term results.

How do you match the existing ceiling texture?

Our experienced plasterers can match most ceiling textures. For perfect matches on textured ceilings, we may recommend painting the entire ceiling.

Do you handle false ceiling repairs?

Yes, we repair both plastered concrete ceilings and false ceilings (gypsum board, mineral fibre, etc.).

My ceiling is leaking from the flat above. Who pays?

The leak above has to be fixed before the ceiling is repaired. Responsibility usually follows the source. In HDB flats, ceiling leaks between two flats are generally treated as a shared matter for the upper and lower owners to resolve together, so check HDB's current guidance. In condos, the MCST can help coordinate between owners.

How long should a ceiling dry before it is repaired?

Until moisture readings show it is dry, which can take days to weeks after the leak is fixed, depending on how long it was wet. Painting or boarding up a wet ceiling traps moisture and the stain returns.
