We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Bedworth and across the CV12 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.
Signs you need misted glass unit replacement
- Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
- One pane looks hazier than the others
- Misting that comes and goes with the weather
Common causes we find
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.
About Bedworth and the CV12 area
Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

Guide prices for misted glass unit replacement in Bedworth
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?
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.
