We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Craigavon and across the BT62 area. If a roof lantern pane looks cloudy or wet between the two layers of glass, the sealed unit has failed and moisture has got inside.
What you might be seeing
- Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
- Misting that comes and goes with the weather
- Water marks or tide lines inside the unit
Why it happens
Edge seal failure
Every sealed unit has an edge seal and desiccant. Once the seal fails, humid air gets in and the desiccant saturates.
Water sitting on the edge
If the unit's edge sits in water because the eaves don't drain, the seal fails sooner.
Covering Craigavon and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
From Armagh to Craigavon is roughly 13 miles — all part of the County Armagh area we cover.

How much should it cost?
Typical range: £245–£595 ex VAT, which is £294–£714 with VAT, per glass unit. 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 Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland, 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 (Northern Ireland) 2012, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
