We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Canary Wharf and across the E14 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
- One pane looks hazier than the others
- 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.

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.
London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.
Canary Wharf is around 5 miles from Westminster, and both are within our Greater London coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Bow (1 mile), Canning Town (2 miles), Greenwich (2 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Canary Wharf?
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 England?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.

Which places near Canary Wharf do you cover?
As well as Canary Wharf, we cover nearby Bow, Canning Town, Greenwich, Stratford and the rest of Greater London.
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.
