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

Common causes we find

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.

Covering Maesteg 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.

Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Maesteg: questions

How do I get a price for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Maesteg?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Maesteg postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Maesteg?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

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.
