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. Send photos from Kelso (TD5) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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

Common causes we find

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.

Colder winters mean more frosty mornings, and a roof lantern is often the coldest surface in a warm kitchen — so condensation is as common as genuine leaks. We check which you've got before quoting.

From Galashiels to Kelso is roughly 15 miles — all part of the Scottish Borders area we cover.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.

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.
