Signs you need misted glass unit replacement

  • Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
  • One pane looks hazier than the others
  • Misting that comes and goes with the weather

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.

Roof lanterns in Lincolnshire

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

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.

Do you need permission in England?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.
