We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Omagh and across the BT78 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.

Is it time for misted glass unit replacement?

  • Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
  • One pane looks hazier than the others
  • Water marks or tide lines inside the unit

Common causes we find

Edge seal failure

Every sealed unit has an edge seal and desiccant. Once the seal fails, humid air gets in and the desiccant saturates.

Movement and age

Thermal movement and age wear the seal; units at the bottom of the lantern often go first.

Roof lanterns in Omagh

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.

We also cover nearby Strabane (17 miles), Enniskillen (22 miles), Cookstown (22 miles).

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.

Misted glass unit replacement in Omagh: questions

How do I get a price for misted glass unit replacement in Omagh?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Omagh postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Omagh?

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.

How long does a replacement unit take?

Units are made to measure, so there's a lead time between measuring and fitting. Fitting itself is usually a short visit.

Will the new pane match the others?

We match tint and coatings as closely as possible; a new unit can look very slightly clearer than older neighbours.
