We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Perth and across the PH1 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

What usually causes it?

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 Perth

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.

Close by, we also cover Auchterarder (13 miles), Kinross (13 miles), Blairgowrie (14 miles).
