We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Wellington and across the TF1 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
  • 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.

About Wellington and the TF1 area

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

How much should it cost?

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.
