Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Durham (DH1) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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

Common causes we find

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.

Covering Durham and nearby

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

Close by, we also cover Chester-le-Street (6 miles), Houghton-le-Spring (6 miles), Stanley (8 miles).

How much should it cost?

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

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?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.

Will new glass stop condensation?

Better glass raises the inner surface temperature and helps, but if the room is very humid, ventilation matters more. We'll tell you which will make the bigger difference.
