What to check
- tiles, grid and suspension points.
- leaks or services above.
- extent of distortion or staining.
- lights, detectors and other integrated components.
Plan the next decision
Make unsafe areas inaccessible and inspect above the ceiling before replacing tiles. Repeated staining or distortion requires the cause to be resolved first.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.
Related work
Use the relevant commercial route, browse maintenance and contact the responsible business with the site-specific requirement.

See current official guidance. Apply it to the actual premises and recheck current requirements before relying on time-sensitive details.
Frequently asked questions
Should stained ceiling tiles simply be replaced?
Check for leaks or moisture above the ceiling first. Also assess the grid and supports before deciding which tiles or components need replacement.
What helps explain the damage?
Send safe photographs, the affected area and when it appeared. Mention nearby services, previous leaks and any recent work above the ceiling.
