Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Kenilworth (CV8) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
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
What usually causes it?
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 Kenilworth
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 Warwick to Kenilworth is roughly 5 miles — all part of the Warwickshire area we cover.
If you're just outside Kenilworth, we also cover Warwick (5 miles), Coventry (5 miles), Leamington Spa (5 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?
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.
