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. We carry out slipped glass panel repairs across Mid Glamorgan, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Signs you need 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 leak at the top of one pane only
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.
Loose cappings
If the capping no longer clamps the glass firmly, the unit can creep with thermal movement.
Roof lanterns in Mid Glamorgan
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
What should you expect to pay for slipped glass panel repairs in Mid Glamorgan?
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 Wales?
In Wales, 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 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
