Water through the kitchen ceiling
- Caller
- There’s water coming through my kitchen ceiling from the flat upstairs.
- Evrella
- Let’s make it safe first. If water is near any sockets or lights, switch the electrics off at the fuse board. Then turn off your stopcock, usually under the kitchen sink, and catch what you can in containers. What’s your full address, including the flat number?
- Caller
- Flat 2, 14 Lindley Court. I’ve turned the stopcock off.
- Evrella
- Thank you, that’s the right thing to do. This is an emergency, so our contractor aims to attend within 4 hours. I’m passing it to the on-call property manager now, with a note that the flat upstairs needs checking too. Can I take your name and mobile, and is there anyone at home who is elderly, very young or unwell?
