Stupidly let my bath over run and didn’t realise until I heard water pouring through into the living room. There was nearly a bucketful, and coming through in several different places. I’ve now mopped up with towels, but it’s still dripping through.
Any advice on what to do next? I’m scared the electrics will be knackered and that I’ll get mould in the walls etc Sad

Dehumidifier. A big one. You can usually rent them. If the ceiling is bowed then you are going to need more than it just drying out. Your home insurance will cover escape of water.

Punch some holes in the ceiling with a screwdriver it'll let the water through faster and help stop the whole ceiling coming down.

agree with ItsAllGoingToBeFine on punching some holes through.
