We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Billingham and across the TS23 area. Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens.
Is it time for condensation diagnosis and fixes?
- Drips after cooking, showers or drying clothes
- Black mould at the base of the lantern lining
- 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.
Poor ventilation
Without trickle vents, extraction or an opening vent, moist air has nowhere to go.
About Billingham and the TS23 area
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

Guide prices for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Billingham
Typical range: £145–£495 ex VAT, which is £174–£594 with 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.
