We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Bexhill-on-Sea and across the TN40 area. A slipped panel is a glass unit that has slid down its glazing bars, leaving a gap at the top and often pushing past the eaves at the bottom.

Roof lantern glass panel slipped down past the eaves leaving a gap beneath the glazing bar

Is it time for slipped glass panel repairs?

  • A visible gap under the capping at the top of a pane
  • Glass edge overhanging the eaves more than its neighbours
  • A pane that looks out of line with the others

What usually causes it?

Missing setting blocks

Blocks under the bottom edge carry the weight of the unit; if they're missing or crushed, the unit creeps down.

Failed glass stops

Many systems use an end stop at the eaves. If it's missing or broken, nothing holds the glass in place.

Covering Bexhill-on-Sea and nearby

Drier, sunnier parts of the UK are kinder to seals than the wet west, but strong sun ages sealant, gaskets and plastic end caps, and south- or west-facing lanterns can make rooms very warm. Solar control glass and an opening vent help.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Bexhill-on-Sea is around 27 miles from Brighton, and both are within our East Sussex coverage.

Neighbouring places we cover include Hastings (5 miles), Hailsham (9 miles), Eastbourne (10 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per panel£195–£445 ex VAT£234–£534 inc VAT

Guide price for slipped glass panel repairs: £195–£445 ex VAT (£234–£534 inc VAT), per panel. 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.
