We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Long Eaton and across the NG10 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.

Signs you need misted glass unit replacement

  • 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.

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

Do you need permission in England?

In England, 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 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
