In Newark-on-Trent, 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
- 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.

What should you expect to pay in Newark-on-Trent?
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.
