We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Stoke-on-Trent and across the ST4 area. Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens.

Is it time for condensation diagnosis and fixes?

  • Drips after cooking, showers or drying clothes
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining
  • Wet window sills elsewhere in the house too

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.

About Stoke-on-Trent and the ST4 area

Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.

From Stafford to Stoke-on-Trent is roughly 14 miles — all part of the Staffordshire area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Stoke-on-Trent?

Guide price, per visit£145–£495 ex VAT£174–£594 inc VAT

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.

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.
