Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Ludlow (SY8) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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

What you might be seeing

  • Water on the inside of the glass on cold mornings, even without rain
  • Drips after cooking, showers or drying clothes
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining

Why it happens

High humidity

Cooking, kettles, showers, drying washing and people all add moisture to the air.

Poor ventilation

Without trickle vents, extraction or an opening vent, moist air has nowhere to go.

Roof lanterns in Ludlow

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Do you need permission in England?

In England, 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, so we set out the route in writing first. 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 Ludlow: questions

How do I get a price for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Ludlow?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Ludlow postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Ludlow?

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.

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.
