Notice changes early
Water marks, cracks, loose panels and sagging deserve attention. Take photographs from a safe position and note when the issue appeared. Do not climb onto furniture or disturb loose ceiling material.
Prioritise safety
Keep people away from a sagging or visibly unstable area. If water is near electrical fittings, avoid contact and seek appropriate professional help. Notify building management when shared services or another unit may be involved.
Find the cause before finishing
A stain may relate to an active leak, while cracks can have different causes. Patching and painting should follow assessment of the underlying issue. The correct remedy depends on the construction and condition of the ceiling.
