Condensation droplets on the inside of roof lantern glass on a cold morning

Is it time for 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

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.

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

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 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 Llandrindod Wells: questions

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

Which places near Llandrindod Wells 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.

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.
