Atrium Repair
Atriums are high-performance structures — and when something goes wrong, the consequences can be swift. A cracked pane, failed seal, or persistent leak can compromise your building's weather resistance, energy efficiency, and structural safety in a matter of days. SHLG are specialist high-level glazing contractors with the expertise, equipment, and accreditations to carry out atrium repair work safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your operations.
We work on commercial and industrial atriums of all sizes across the UK, using rope access, MEWPs, and cradle systems to reach even the most complex structures safely.

Atrium Repair Services We Provide
Cracked & Broken Glass Replacement Whether caused by impact, thermal stress, or age, cracked atrium glass poses a serious safety risk and should be addressed immediately. Our team can assess the damage, source the correct specification of toughened or laminated glass, and carry out a safe, like-for-like replacement at height.
Failed Seal & Silicone Replacement Degraded or failed sealant is one of the most common causes of atrium leaks. Over time, silicone joints dry out, crack, and pull away from the frame — allowing water ingress that can cause significant internal damage. We remove old sealant fully and apply new, weather-grade silicone to restore a watertight finish.
Atrium Leak Detection & Rectification Tracking down the source of an atrium leak isn't always straightforward — water can travel significant distances before appearing inside the building. We use advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately pinpoint the origin of leaks, then carry out targeted repairs to eliminate the problem at its source.
Framework & Structural Repairs Corrosion, impact damage, and long-term wear can affect the aluminium or steel framework that holds your atrium together. We carry out framework inspections and repairs, restoring structural integrity and ensuring your glazing system remains secure and compliant.
Drainage Clearing & Repair Blocked or damaged drainage channels are a leading cause of water pooling and leaks in atrium roofs. We inspect, clear, and repair drainage systems to ensure rainwater is effectively managed and directed away from the structure.
Emergency Atrium Repairs When an atrium is suddenly compromised — by storm damage, vandalism, or a structural failure — you need a rapid response. SHLG provide 24/7 emergency glazing services to make your building safe and weatherproof as quickly as possible. We also offer full Atrium Installation and Replacement.

It's worth getting your atrium inspected if you notice any of the following: water dripping or staining on internal ceilings or walls near the atrium, visible cracking, chipping, or discolouration in the glass, condensation forming between glass panes (indicating a failed sealed unit), visible deterioration of the silicone or sealant joints, rattling or movement in the framework, or increased cold drafts or energy bills associated with the atrium area. Catching issues early is almost always more cost-effective than waiting for a full failure.
