We carry out slipped glass panel repairs in Stourport-on-Severn and across the DY13 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.
What you might be seeing
- 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.
Failed glass stops
Many systems use an end stop at the eaves. If it's missing or broken, nothing holds the glass in place.
About Stourport-on-Severn and the DY13 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 Stourport-on-Severn?
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?
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.

Slipped glass panel repairs in Stourport-on-Severn: questions
How do I get a price for slipped glass panel repairs in Stourport-on-Severn?
Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Stourport-on-Severn postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.
Do you need to visit to price slipped glass panel repairs?
Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.
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.
