Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Kidsgrove (ST7) 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
- 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.
About Kidsgrove and the ST7 area

Guide prices for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Kidsgrove
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.
