In Arnold, 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.

Is it time for misted glass unit replacement?

  • Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
  • Misting that comes and goes with the weather
  • Water marks or tide lines inside the unit

Why it happens

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 Arnold and nearby

Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.

From Nottingham to Arnold is roughly 3 miles — all part of the Nottinghamshire area we cover.

We also cover nearby Nottingham (3 miles), Hucknall (4 miles), West Bridgford (5 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price for misted glass unit replacement: £245–£595 ex VAT (£294–£714 inc 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?

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.

How long does a replacement unit take?

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.
