We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Pudsey and across the LS28 area. Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens.
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
Why it happens
High humidity
Cooking, kettles, showers, drying washing and people all add moisture to the air.
Cold surfaces
Older glass, uninsulated kerbs and un-thermally-broken frames stay cold and collect condensation.
Covering Pudsey and nearby
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
Pudsey is around 5 miles from Leeds, and both are within our West Yorkshire coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Bradford (4 miles), Morley (5 miles), Leeds (5 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
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.
