Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Bridgwater (TA6) 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
- Drips after cooking, showers or drying clothes
- 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 Bridgwater and the TA6 area
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.
Bridgwater is around 9 miles from Taunton, and both are within our Somerset coverage.
If you're just outside Bridgwater, we also cover Burnham-on-Sea (8 miles), Taunton (9 miles), Weston-super-Mare (15 miles).
How much should it cost?
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 England?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
