We carry out glazing bar and capping repairs in Bridgnorth and across the WV16 area. Each glazing bar on a roof lantern has a top capping that clamps the glass onto gaskets.

What you might be seeing

  • A capping visibly higher than its neighbours
  • Rattling or whistling in wind
  • End caps missing at the bottom of a bar

Why it happens

Fixings working loose

Screws and clips that hold the capping relax with thermal movement, so the clamp on the glass weakens.

Damage

Ladders, window cleaning or someone stepping on a lantern can bend a capping or unclip it.

Covering Bridgnorth and nearby

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Bridgnorth is around 18 miles from Shrewsbury, and both are within our Shropshire coverage.

We also cover nearby Telford (10 miles), Kingswinford (11 miles), Wellington (12 miles).

What should you expect to pay in Bridgnorth?

Guide price, per lantern£165–£395 ex VAT£198–£474 inc VAT

Most glazing bar and capping repairs jobs come in between £165 and £395 ex VAT (£198–£474 including VAT), per lantern. 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.

Glazing bar and capping repairs in Bridgnorth: questions

How do I get a price for glazing bar and capping repairs in Bridgnorth?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Bridgnorth postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Which places near Bridgnorth do you cover?

As well as Bridgnorth, we cover nearby Telford, Kingswinford, Wellington, Kidderminster and the rest of Shropshire.

Can a capping just be clipped back on?

Sometimes, if nothing underneath has failed. We check the gaskets first, because clipping a capping over a perished gasket doesn't stop the leak.

Do you repair uPVC and timber lantern bars too?

Yes. Timber lanterns use different beads and cappings, and we repair those as part of timber lantern repairs.
