We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Chepstow and across the NP16 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

What you might be seeing

  • Glass edge overhanging the eaves more than its neighbours
  • A leak at the top of one pane only
  • 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.

Loose cappings

If the capping no longer clamps the glass firmly, the unit can creep with thermal movement.

About Chepstow and the NP16 area

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Chepstow is around 14 miles from Newport, Gwent, and both are within our Gwent coverage.

We also cover nearby Monmouth (12 miles), Newport, Gwent (14 miles), Cwmbran (15 miles).

How much should it cost?

Do you need permission in Wales?

Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
