We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Rugeley and across the WS15 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

Is it time for 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 pane that looks out of line with the others

Common causes we find

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 Rugeley

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

Rugeley is around 8 miles from Stafford, and both are within our Staffordshire coverage.

We also cover nearby Burntwood (5 miles), Cannock (6 miles), Lichfield (7 miles).

Do you need permission in England?

In England, 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, so we set out the route in writing first. 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 Rugeley: questions

How do I get a price for slipped glass panel repairs in Rugeley?

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Rugeley postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Which places near Rugeley do you cover?

As well as Rugeley, we cover nearby Burntwood, Cannock, Lichfield, Stafford and the rest of Staffordshire.

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.
