In Waterlooville, as everywhere, condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

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.

Poor ventilation

Without trickle vents, extraction or an opening vent, moist air has nowhere to go.

Covering Waterlooville and nearby

Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.

From Southampton to Waterlooville is roughly 16 miles — all part of the Hampshire area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Waterlooville?

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

Guide price for condensation diagnosis and fixes: £145–£495 ex VAT (£174–£594 inc 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.

Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Waterlooville: questions

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.
