In Grangemouth, 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.

Signs you need 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.

Do you need to visit to price misted glass unit replacement?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

How long does a replacement unit take?

Units are made to measure, so there's a lead time between measuring and fitting. Fitting itself is usually a short visit.

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.
