Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Crieff (PH7) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
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
What usually causes it?
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.
About Crieff and the PH7 area
Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.
From Perth to Crieff is roughly 16 miles — all part of the Perth and Kinross area we cover.

Guide prices for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Crieff
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 Scotland?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Crieff: questions

Which places near Crieff do you cover?

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.
