In Bedworth, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
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
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 Bedworth and the CV12 area
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.

What should you expect to pay in Bedworth?
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?
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.
