Who do I call for a leak in my ceiling?

I have two large patches of damp appeared on my bedroom ceiling on opposite sides of the room. One is on the side of the end wall (end of terrace) and the other is on the side of the neighbour's house, where the two roofs adjoin. Both are high up at the edge of the ceiling. There is a loft room above but I can find no sign of the boiler leaking or any damp. I can't see any loose or missing tiles on the roof above the room, so I'm a bit at a loss. Should I call a plumber or should I call a roofer? Doe anyone have any recommendations? I'd be very grateful! Thanks, Lise

If the wet patches have suddenly appeared because of the bad weather (heavy rain ) then I would call a roofer , you could have a problem with the lead on the roof ,or the lead soakers could be faulty , if the ceiling is dripping constantly then you need a plumber ,hope this helps , I could have a look for you , but I'm more a plasterer/ damp proofer ,

Regards

Dave

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
