In Coatbridge, 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.

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

Signs you need condensation diagnosis and fixes

  • Water on the inside of the glass on cold mornings, even without rain
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining
  • Wet window sills elsewhere in the house too

What usually causes it?

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 Coatbridge and the ML5 area

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Coatbridge is around 7 miles from Hamilton, and both are within our Lanarkshire coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Airdrie (2 miles), Bellshill (3 miles), Motherwell (5 miles).

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

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.

Is condensation in a lantern normal?

Occasional light condensation on very cold mornings can be. Regular dripping isn't, and can damage linings and cause mould.
