Mysterious leak

mahoney

Hello All,
I would really appreciate your input.
We have a damp patch, with mold on the wall adjacent to the bathroom. The boiler is also very close. So is a radiator. Water started coming down through the kitchen ceiling, but this stopped and only lasted a few days - the pressure on the boiler was high at this time too so may have contributed.
British Gas came to have a look, said the boiler is fine, they couldn't see a leak and suggested we had a plumber/bathroom fitter to reseal the batch and shower. This was done about a week ago, but it does not look like things have improved. I know walls take time to dry, but if this hasn't sorted it, how do we work out where the mysterious leak is coming from?
Which kind of expert do I need to involve?
Thank you!

Have you got a shower tray? If you have, check it for cracks

I had a water coming down the wall and through the ceiling below from my boiler. I had the boiler checked and all was fine. It turned out the pipe exiting the boiler through the wall was not sealed in well and rain water was coming through the wall from this.

Are there any other places water could be coming from? I know water can travel a short distance but it tends to leave signs. It really could be that the shower tray leaked - if you have one. I've lost count of the number of posts I've seen about that. And when it is sealed up, problem solved.

So the pressure was high on the boiler pressure gauge & did it go down while or after the water was coming through the ceiling ?
