We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Rugby and across the CV21 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.

Failed glass stops

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

Roof lanterns in Rugby

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.

From Warwick to Rugby is roughly 15 miles — all part of the Warwickshire area we cover.

Guide prices for slipped glass panel repairs in Rugby

Guide price for slipped glass panel repairs: £195–£445 ex VAT (£234–£534 inc 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?

Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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 Rugby: questions

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

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Rugby 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 Rugby do you cover?

As well as Rugby, we cover nearby Daventry, Coventry, Bedworth, Leamington Spa and the rest of Warwickshire.

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.
