We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Pontypridd and across the CF37 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

Signs you need 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

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 Pontypridd 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.

From Bridgend to Pontypridd is roughly 12 miles — all part of the Mid Glamorgan area we cover.

Neighbouring places we cover include Tonypandy (5 miles), Caerphilly (6 miles), Rhondda (6 miles).

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 Wales?

In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. 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.

Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Pontypridd: questions

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

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

Do you need to visit to price condensation diagnosis and fixes?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

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.
