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 think you can have afternoon tea at The Cutty Sark?
    • What about a cinema party? The picture house has conservatory but the furniture is a bit shabby. You can connect your own music too. 
    • I got a relatively good deal (well, compared to the quote from my current broker!)  through Orwell Insurance, who also didn't require a survey. £655 pa including subsidence cover. The excess is quite high but there's a ten year guarantee on the work on my front bay, so fingers crossed I won't have to claim. There has been other ground movement decades ago which sadly they also took into account in setting the excess. I used an online site called QuoteZone which was very quick and easy and can exclude any companies which won't cover you if you've had previous subsidence. Good luck to everyone who is in a similar situation! Each company seems to ask different questions and want different things, so definitely try a few places. I didn't want to spend days phoning round, so given I had already  saved £845 I stopped there, though it's possible I could have got it cheaper.
