We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Cookstown and across the BT80 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?
- 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
Common causes we find
Cold surfaces
Older glass, uninsulated kerbs and un-thermally-broken frames stay cold and collect condensation.
Poor ventilation
Without trickle vents, extraction or an opening vent, moist air has nowhere to go.
About Cookstown and the BT80 area
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
From Omagh to Cookstown is roughly 22 miles — all part of the County Tyrone area we cover.
Close by, we also cover Magherafelt (9 miles), Dungannon (10 miles), Portadown (19 miles).
How much should it cost?
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 Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland, 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 (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
