In Rhyl, as everywhere, 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. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.
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
Why it happens
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 Rhyl
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

What should you expect to pay in Rhyl?
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 Wales?
Most lantern repairs in Wales need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales) apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.

How do I get a price for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Rhyl?
Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Rhyl postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.
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.
