In Ballymena, 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.

Wet leaves and moss being cleared from the eaves channel at the base of a roof lantern

What you might be seeing

  • Water at the corners after heavy rain
  • 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.

Open corner joints

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

Covering Ballymena and nearby

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

Ballymena is around 23 miles from Belfast, and both are within our County Antrim coverage.
