Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Tredegar (NP22) 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?
- 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.
Poor ventilation
Without trickle vents, extraction or an opening vent, moist air has nowhere to go.
Covering Tredegar and nearby
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.
Tredegar is around 17 miles from Newport, Gwent, and both are within our Gwent coverage.
Close by, we also cover Ebbw Vale (2 miles), Merthyr Tydfil (6 miles), Blackwood (7 miles).
Guide prices for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Tredegar
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 Wales?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Wales. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales); we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
