We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Feltham and across the TW13 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
- One pane looks hazier than the others
- Water marks or tide lines inside the unit
Common causes we find
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 Feltham and nearby
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.
Across London, many lanterns sit on rear extensions with access only through the house, so we protect floors and plan the work to keep time indoors to a minimum. Parking and any permits are factored into the quote.
We cover Feltham as part of Greater London, about 12 miles from Westminster.
If you're just outside Feltham, we also cover Hanworth (2 miles), Ashford, Surrey (2 miles), Hounslow (3 miles).
Guide prices for misted glass unit replacement in Feltham
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.

Misted glass unit replacement in Feltham: questions
Do you cover Feltham?
Yes. We cover Feltham, including the TW13 postcode area, as part of Greater London. Send photos by WhatsApp or the form for a free guide price, and we'll confirm the fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Do you need to visit to price misted glass unit replacement?
Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.
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.
