Water leaking through kitchen roof

Posted by Sarah Reid, on Wed 02 Aug 2017 07:48am

Good morning, we have had water leaking through the kitchen roof from the shower above. The emergency plumber has cut the ceiling in the kitchen and capped the leaking pipes but we now need to get it repaired which will involve removing a wet wall panel in the bathroom to access the shower pipes and see how much damage there is to the plasterboard etc. We are going to require a joiner and plumber to be here at the same time and will also need the roof to be replastered/decorated etc. Is there a company who will do all the work or will I need to source separate tradesmen? I live in Kintore, Aberdeenshire. Many thanks

Hi Sarah I would suggest getting some quotes from a general builder who will complete the majority of the work - he will then get the required trades to carry out the other work. Just ensure he does involve the correctly qualified engineers for plumbing, electrical etc.
