We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Epsom and across the KT17 area. 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.

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

Why it happens

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.

Covering Epsom and nearby

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.

Epsom is around 15 miles from Guildford, and both are within our Surrey coverage.

We also cover nearby Ewell (2 miles), Banstead (3 miles), Sutton (3 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per glass unit£245–£595 ex VAT£294–£714 inc VAT

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.
