Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Newcastle-under-Lyme (ST5) 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
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining
  • Wet window sills elsewhere in the house too

Common causes we find

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.

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

How much should it cost?

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 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.
