We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Frome and across the BA11 area. Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens.
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
Common causes we find
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 Frome
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.
Frome is around 37 miles from Taunton, and both are within our Somerset coverage.
If you're just outside Frome, we also cover Trowbridge (8 miles), Bath (10 miles), Chippenham (18 miles).
Guide prices for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Frome
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 England?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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 Frome: questions
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Frome?
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.
Which places near Frome do you cover?
As well as Frome, we cover nearby Trowbridge, Bath, Chippenham, Bristol and the rest of Somerset.
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.
