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
  • A leak at the top of one pane only
  • A pane that looks out of line with the others

What usually causes it?

Failed glass stops

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

Loose cappings

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

About Eastleigh and the SO50 area

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.

Guide prices for slipped glass panel repairs in Eastleigh

Most slipped glass panel repairs jobs come in between £195 and £445 ex VAT (£234–£534 including 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.
