We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Kenilworth and across the CV8 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?

  • Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
  • One pane looks hazier than the others
  • Water marks or tide lines inside the unit

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.

Movement and age

Thermal movement and age wear the seal; units at the bottom of the lantern often go first.

Covering Kenilworth and nearby

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.

What should you expect to pay in Kenilworth?

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

Typical range: £245–£595 ex VAT, which is £294–£714 with 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.
