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. Send photos from Fulham (SW6) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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 Fulham and nearby
Even in drier areas, one heavy downpour with blocked eaves is enough to overflow a lantern indoors. Clearing the eaves channel is the simplest prevention there is.
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.

Guide prices for slipped glass panel repairs in Fulham
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?
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.

How do I get a price for slipped glass panel repairs in Fulham?

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Fulham?
Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.
What does resetting a slipped panel cost?
Usually £195–£445 ex VAT per panel, confirmed in writing before work starts. If the unit is damaged it may need replacing.
Does a slipped panel mean my lantern was badly fitted?
Not necessarily — blocks can crush and stops can break over time — but if the lantern is new, talk to the installer first as it may be under warranty.
