In Bellshill, 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.

What you might be seeing

  • Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
  • Misting that comes and goes with the weather
  • 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.

Water sitting on the edge

If the unit's edge sits in water because the eaves don't drain, the seal fails sooner.

About Bellshill and the ML4 area

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.

From Hamilton to Bellshill is roughly 4 miles — all part of the Lanarkshire area we cover.

Close by, we also cover Motherwell (2 miles), Coatbridge (3 miles), Hamilton (4 miles).

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
