We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Harrogate and across the HG1 area. Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens.
Signs you need 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.
Cold surfaces
Older glass, uninsulated kerbs and un-thermally-broken frames stay cold and collect condensation.
Covering Harrogate and nearby
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
Harrogate is around 19 miles from York, and both are within our North Yorkshire coverage.
We also cover nearby Yeadon (11 miles), Guiseley (11 miles), Leeds (13 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Harrogate?
Most condensation diagnosis and fixes jobs come in between £145 and £495 ex VAT (£174–£594 including 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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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 Harrogate: questions
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Harrogate?
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.
Which places near Harrogate do you cover?
As well as Harrogate, we cover nearby Yeadon, Guiseley, Leeds, Shipley and the rest of North Yorkshire.
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.
What does a condensation visit cost?
Diagnosis visits start from £145 ex VAT. Any fixes are priced separately and confirmed in writing before work starts.
