Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Tredegar

If you're in Tredegar and dealing with condensation dripping from the lantern, we can help. We work out whether it's condensation or a leak, then fix the cause — ventilation, kerb or glass, and confirm the fixed price in writing before we start.

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.

Condensation droplets on the inside of roof lantern glass on a cold morning

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.

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.
