right - so what's the concensus?  Do i need to turn of rany electricity (it's coming right through the kitchen light fitting, so I didn't intend turning on the kitchen lights).

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

I'd just switch the breaker for the downstairs lights.

If the water has stopped flowing, you should be fine.  Let it dry now.

Just spoken to landlord (who happens to be an electrician by trade).  He's coming round tomorrow to look at it.  He thinks i'm ok to leave electricity on, just not to turn on kitchen lights (obviously).  I think I'll play it safe and not use anything electrical in the kitchen tonight.  Just as well I've been sick today and can't face food anyway Sad

if ceiling is bulging make a hole in the bulging area with knife make a + with the knife then push broom handle through.that will allow water to come out in 1 place, it should be the landlords responsibility but he could take a while to get someone to fix it personally id leave light on until and it blows turning the switch off wont disable the power as they have whats called a switch live going to it it which will remain live after switch has been turned off,if your worried then turn the breaker(fuse) off which serves that lighting circuit,if its not labled turn them off an on again 1 by till you find the right 1.
don't run bath until fixed if your really really stuck then let us know and I'll see what i could do as i am a qualified and trained plumber doesn't sound to serious probably pipe dislodged from trap.hope this helps

Thanks CIA.  No bulge.  There's really not a whole lot of water now it's all stopped - just looked like a hell of a lot as it was pouring through the ceiling.  There's no bulge and it's stopped completely now.

The kitchen light wasn't on - I've turned the braker off now and lit some candles - do you reckon it's safe enough to put the lights back on at the mains then to avoid a tighty style accident with a naked flame?

yes if you have circuit breakers all that will happen is the breaker will snap back off there could be a tiny flash from breaker if it does but dont worry then u will know if the lighting circuit is ok.if they are ok and some water has got into fitting just put fan heater under it facing up to dry it out.
