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 Gateshead (NE8) 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?

  • Glass edge overhanging the eaves more than its neighbours
  • A leak at the top of one pane only
  • A pane that looks out of line with the others

What usually causes it?

Missing setting blocks

Blocks under the bottom edge carry the weight of the unit; if they're missing or crushed, the unit creeps down.

Failed glass stops

Many systems use an end stop at the eaves. If it's missing or broken, nothing holds the glass in place.

Covering Gateshead and nearby

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.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

What should you expect to pay in Gateshead?

Guide price, per panel£195–£445 ex VAT£234–£534 inc VAT

Typical range: £195–£445 ex VAT, which is £234–£534 with 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.

What does resetting a slipped panel cost?

Usually £195–£445 ex VAT per panel, confirmed in writing before work starts. If the unit is damaged it may need replacing.

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.
