The eaves beam is the frame around the base of a lantern, and most designs have a drainage channel inside it that lets water out through small weep slots. We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs across Bedfordshire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need eaves beam and gutter repairs

  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Standing water in the eaves channel
  • Staining on the lining just below the eaves

What usually causes it?

Open corner joints

The eaves beam is mitred or jointed at the corners; if the joint seal fails, water drops straight through.

Trees and moss

Lanterns near trees fill with leaves every autumn and need regular clearing.

Roof lanterns in Bedfordshire

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

What should you expect to pay for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Bedfordshire?

Guide price, per lantern£175–£395 ex VAT£210–£474 inc VAT

Most eaves beam and gutter repairs jobs come in between £175 and £395 ex VAT (£210–£474 including VAT), per lantern. 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.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Bedfordshire: questions

Can I clear the eaves myself?

Only if you can do it safely from a properly secured ladder without standing on the roof or leaning on the glass. If in doubt, don't — falls from flat roofs are a common cause of injury.

Why does my lantern only leak at the corners?

Corners are where the eaves beam is jointed and where water collects. A failed corner seal or blocked weep near the corner is the usual cause.

Which towns in Bedfordshire do you cover?

All of Bedfordshire, including Bedford, Luton, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Ampthill. Rural and remote addresses are covered by arrangement.

How do I get a price for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Bedfordshire?
