We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Hexham and across the NE46 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

  • 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

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.

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

What should you expect to pay in Hexham?

Guide price, per panel£195–£445 ex VAT£234–£534 inc VAT

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.

Slipped glass panel repairs in Hexham: questions

Do you need to visit to price slipped glass panel repairs?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Hexham?

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.

Can a slipped panel be pushed back up?

Not safely without removing the capping. The fix is to support the unit properly so it can't slip again.

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.
