In Pembroke Dock, as everywhere, 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. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Is it time for 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
What usually causes it?
Water sitting on the edge
If the unit's edge sits in water because the eaves don't drain, the seal fails sooner.
Movement and age
Thermal movement and age wear the seal; units at the bottom of the lantern often go first.
Covering Pembroke Dock 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.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
Pembroke Dock is around 29 miles from Carmarthen, and both are within our Dyfed coverage.

How much should it cost?
Most misted glass unit replacement jobs come in between £245 and £595 ex VAT (£294–£714 including 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 Wales?
In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
