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 Clevedon (BS21) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for misted glass unit replacement?
- 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
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.
About Clevedon and the BS21 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.
Clevedon is around 31 miles from Taunton, and both are within our Somerset coverage.
Close by, we also cover Nailsea (4 miles), Portishead (5 miles), Weston-super-Mare (8 miles).
Guide prices for misted glass unit replacement in Clevedon
Most misted glass unit replacement jobs come in between £245 and £595 ex VAT (£294–£714 including 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?
In England, 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 Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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?

We match tint and coatings as closely as possible; a new unit can look very slightly clearer than older neighbours.
