Condensation droplets on the inside of roof lantern glass on a cold morning

Signs you need condensation diagnosis and fixes

  • Water on the inside of the glass on cold mornings, even without rain
  • Drips after cooking, showers or drying clothes
  • Wet window sills elsewhere in the house too

What usually causes it?

High humidity

Cooking, kettles, showers, drying washing and people all add moisture to the air.

Cold surfaces

Older glass, uninsulated kerbs and un-thermally-broken frames stay cold and collect condensation.

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

What should you expect to pay for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Cambridgeshire?

Guide price, per visit£145–£495 ex VAT£174–£594 inc VAT

Guide price for condensation diagnosis and fixes: £145–£495 ex VAT (£174–£594 inc VAT), per visit. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

Do you need permission in England?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
