We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Sutton Coldfield and across the B73 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?
- Water on the inside of the glass on cold mornings, even without rain
- Drips after cooking, showers or drying clothes
- Wet window sills elsewhere in the house too
Why it happens
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.
Roof lanterns in Sutton Coldfield
Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
We cover Sutton Coldfield as part of West Midlands, about 7 miles from Birmingham.

What should you expect to pay in Sutton Coldfield?
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?
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.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Sutton Coldfield?
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.
Is condensation in a lantern normal?
Occasional light condensation on very cold mornings can be. Regular dripping isn't, and can damage linings and cause mould.
