We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Thornaby-on-Tees and across the TS17 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
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining
  • Wet window sills elsewhere in the house too

Why it happens

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.

Roof lanterns in Thornaby-on-Tees

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.

What should you expect to pay in Thornaby-on-Tees?

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

Guide price for condensation diagnosis and fixes: £145–£495 ex VAT (£174–£594 inc 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.

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.
