We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Enniskillen and across the BT74 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
Why it happens
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 Enniskillen 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.

Guide prices for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Enniskillen
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 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.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Enniskillen: questions
How do I get a price for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Enniskillen?
Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Enniskillen postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.
Do you need to visit to price eaves beam and gutter repairs?
Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.
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.
