There was a sudden and fairly strong flow of water through the ceiling (downstairs), mostly through the ceiling rose hole and a line of damp visible either side of it. After a minute or two it slowed to a drip, and then almost stopped.
There are central heating pipes in the region of the leak. The hot water tank (~2m away from the leak) and all associated local pipework is completely dry. I haven't yet taken up the floorboards at the site of the leak, but will do tomorrow.
The strangest part is that the water stopped by itself, why would a leak have stopped like that without any action being taken? All water was still "on" and the amount wasn't nearly enough to drain the CH system, say. The water was fairly clear, btw, but I'm pretty sure only CH pipes run in that region. There are no taps etc. upstairs at all.
Any insight before I pull the carpet up? Thanks,
