We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Stoke-on-Trent and across the ST4 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

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 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.

Covering Stoke-on-Trent and nearby

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.

Stoke-on-Trent is around 14 miles from Stafford, and both are within our Staffordshire coverage.

We also cover nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme (2 miles), Kidsgrove (6 miles), Congleton (11 miles).

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.

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.
