Roof lantern glass panel slipped down past the eaves leaving a gap beneath the glazing bar

Signs you need 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

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.

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.

How much should it cost?

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

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 Scotland?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
