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 from Belfast (BT1) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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?

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.

Roof lanterns in Belfast

Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.

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

If you're just outside Belfast, we also cover Newtownabbey (4 miles), Holywood (5 miles), Lisburn (7 miles).

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Belfast: questions

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.

How much does an eaves repair cost?

Clearing and resealing is usually £175–£395 ex VAT; rebuilding a damaged eaves section is priced on survey. You get a fixed price in writing first.

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.
