We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Kidderminster and across the DY10 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
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.
About Kidderminster and the DY10 area
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.
Kidderminster is around 14 miles from Worcester, and both are within our Worcestershire coverage.
We also cover nearby Stourport-on-Severn (4 miles), Stourbridge (7 miles), Kingswinford (8 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Kidderminster?
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?
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.

Which places near Kidderminster do you cover?

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.
