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 Craigavon (BT62) 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
- Water at the corners after heavy rain
- 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.
Covering Craigavon 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.

How much should it cost?

Do you need permission in Northern Ireland?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Northern Ireland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for alterations; check with the council's planning service before changing a lantern on a listed property.
