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 Walton-on-Thames (KT12) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

What you might be seeing

  • 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.

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.
