Ceiling mould is more than an ugly stain. It means moisture has crept where it shouldn’t—usually from a hidden plumbing or roof leak. Left alone, that damp spot can weaken drywall, peel paint, and trigger asthma attacks. Same Day Trades sends fully licenced, police-checked plumbers to homes in Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane the same day you call. We track down the leak, remove the mould, dry the ceiling, and give you simple steps to keep it from coming back.

Why Mould Forms on Ceilings

Hidden plumbing leaks
A pinhole in a copper pipe or a loose PEX fitting can drip for months inside the ceiling cavity. The insulation stays damp and mould spores flourish.

Poor bathroom ventilation
Steam rises during hot showers. Without a strong exhaust fan, that vapour lands on the cooler ceiling and feeds mould colonies.

Roof plumbing faults
Damaged flashing, cracked tiles, or a blocked box gutter let rainwater track into the ceiling. Mould often shows up far from the leak, making DIY detection tricky.

Everyday condensation
In humid Australian summers, chilled air-conditioning can drop the ceiling surface below the dew point. Water droplets form night after night, soaking the plasterboard.

Fast fact: Once moisture is present, mould needs only 24–48 hours to start growing.

Signs You Need Professional Help

  • Black or green patches keep returning after you wipe them.
  • A musty smell hangs in the room.
  • Paint bubbles or flakes near light fittings.
  • Drywall feels soft or sags when you press it.
  • Family members cough or sneeze more indoors than out.

If two or more of those sound familiar, the problem has moved beyond surface cleaning—time to call in the experts.

Our 4-Step Mould Removal & Prevention Process

–  Leak Detection : We use moisture metres, thermal cameras, and tracer gas to pinpoint the source—whether it’s a loose shower waste, a cracked pipe, or roof-gutter overflow.

–  On-the-Spot Repairs : Our vans carry copper, PVC, and PEX fittings, so most leaks are fixed during the same visit. You won’t wait days for a return trip.

–  Mould Treatment : We remove visible colonies, scrub stains, and apply hospital-grade antimicrobials that kill spores without harsh odours. If plasterboard is too far gone, we cut it out and safely dispose of the damage.

–  Future-Proofing : We upgrade exhaust fans, insulate cold water lines, and leave a humidity control checklist. Prevention costs far less than another outbreak.

Preventing Mould on Your Ceiling

  • Fix drips the day you spot them. A five-minute washer change beats a thousand-dollar ceiling repair.
  • Run an exhaust fan for ten minutes after every shower. A humidity-sensing model does it automatically.
  • Insulate cold-water pipes in the attic or ceiling to stop winter condensation.
  • Keep indoor humidity below 60 percent. A twenty-dollar hygrometer tells you when to crack a window or switch on the dehumidifier.
  • Book annual roof-plumbing checks. Sun, wind, and sudden storms can loosen flashing faster than you think.

Had Issac come out to fix my toilet exhaust fan. He did a quick safety inspection and I'm so glad he did we had no smoke alarms working. He fixed all the work quickly as he could aware that I was working on a zoom conference call. He is an easy going, friendly and confident electrician. I would recommend him and this company to anyone.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Is black mould on my ceiling dangerous?

Yes. It can trigger asthma, sinus issues, and skin irritation. Quick removal protects both health and building materials.

Can I clean ceiling mould myself?

You can wipe stains, but unless you stop the moisture and kill hidden spores, mould comes back fast. A professional fix lasts.

How long does ceiling mould removal take?

Most jobs finish in three to five hours, including leak repair and cleanup. Bigger areas may need a follow-up visit for drywall replacement.

Mary

Living alone meant when my toilet and drain was not working I was completely stressed and had no idea what to do. From the initial phone call, to the first visit and quote for the job I was reassured and helped by each person...

Derek

Luke at Same Day Trades did a great job and was very professional and courteous as are all other tradespeople that I have dealt with from your company on the times that I have used your services.

Vijen

We had a kitchen drain that was blocking up from grease. The plumber cleaned it out with Hydro jet drain cleaning machine. Drain is now back to original condition. Very happy with the works done.

Nikki B.

Preformed a great service and was very clear on pricing and what needed to be done before starting. Also went above and beyond to make sure there was no other problems elsewhere that needed attending too. Highly recommend!
