Water leak from upstairs flat

If you are looking for a leak it is probably easier to find it via your ceiling rather than via the floor above.

possibly a good suggestion. there is a void in the ceiling, which is my ceiling and the floor of the flat above, so it could be water building up in the void and coming down so it may not be their bathroom.brianposter said:If you are looking for a leak it is probably easier to find it via your ceiling rather than via the floor above.
I may have a look in the ceiling and see if there is anything like pipes up there. it is a concrete ceiling so water travels on it and then comes down where it finds the nearest exit so it isn't always easy to identify where the leak had originated from.
i am going to turn the water supply off to the flat for a few days and see if the leak continues. if it does then it can't be from us. but it may be water trapped in the void and coming down slowly.0
