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. We carry out misted glass unit replacement across Warwickshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need 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

What usually causes it?

Edge seal failure

Every sealed unit has an edge seal and desiccant. Once the seal fails, humid air gets in and the desiccant saturates.

Water sitting on the edge

If the unit's edge sits in water because the eaves don't drain, the seal fails sooner.

Roof lanterns in Warwickshire

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

What should you expect to pay for misted glass unit replacement in Warwickshire?

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

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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
