We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Skelmersdale and across the WN8 area. Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens.

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

What you might be seeing

  • 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

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.

Roof lanterns in Skelmersdale

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.

Skelmersdale is around 15 miles from Preston, and both are within our Lancashire coverage.

How much should it cost?

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

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 England?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
