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 from Morecambe (LA4) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

What you might be seeing

  • One pane looks hazier than the others
  • 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.

Movement and age

Thermal movement and age wear the seal; units at the bottom of the lantern often go first.

Covering Morecambe and nearby

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 Preston to Morecambe is roughly 22 miles — all part of the Lancashire area we cover.

What should you expect to pay in Morecambe?

Guide price, per glass unit£245–£595 ex VAT£294–£714 inc VAT

Typical range: £245–£595 ex VAT, which is £294–£714 with 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.

How long does a replacement unit take?
