Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens. Send photos from Rugby (CV21) 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
  • Drips after cooking, showers or drying clothes
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining

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.

Covering Rugby and nearby

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.

Rugby is around 15 miles from Warwick, and both are within our Warwickshire coverage.

If you're just outside Rugby, we also cover Daventry (9 miles), Coventry (11 miles), Bedworth (11 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Rugby?

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

Guide price for condensation diagnosis and fixes: £145–£495 ex VAT (£174–£594 inc 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.

Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Rugby: questions

How do I get a price for condensation diagnosis and fixes in Rugby?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Rugby postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Rugby?

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.

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.

What does a condensation visit cost?

Diagnosis visits start from £145 ex VAT. Any fixes are priced separately and confirmed in writing before work starts.
