We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Amersham and across the HP7 area. 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.

Is it time for eaves beam and gutter repairs?

  • Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Standing water in the eaves channel

Common causes we find

Blocked weep slots

Debris settles at the eaves and blocks the outlets, so the channel fills and overflows inward.

Trees and moss

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

Roof lanterns in Amersham

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 Aylesbury to Amersham is roughly 13 miles — all part of the Buckinghamshire area we cover.

How much should it cost?

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

Typical range: £175–£395 ex VAT, which is £210–£474 with 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?

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.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Amersham: questions

Do you cover Amersham?

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Amersham?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

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.
