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 Egham (TW20) 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

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

What usually causes it?

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.

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?

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.
