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. We carry out misted glass unit replacement across County Fermanagh, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

What usually causes it?
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.

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
