We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Cricklewood and across the NW2 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.
What you might be seeing
- 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
Why it happens
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 Cricklewood and nearby
Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.
London's extensions are often tight to neighbouring walls and roofs. Where a repair needs access over a neighbour's property, we'll tell you in advance so you can arrange it.
We cover Cricklewood as part of Greater London, about 5 miles from Westminster.

Guide prices for slipped glass panel repairs in Cricklewood
Typical range: £195–£445 ex VAT, which is £234–£534 with 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?
In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
