Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Clwyd

Across Clwyd — Wrexham, Buckley, Deeside and beyond — we work out whether it's condensation or a leak, then fix the cause — ventilation, kerb or glass. Photos first, then a written fixed price.

Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes across Clwyd, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

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
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining

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.

Roof lanterns in Clwyd

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
