We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Annan and across the DG12 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.

Signs you need eaves beam and gutter repairs

  • Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Staining on the lining just below the eaves

Why it happens

Open corner joints

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

Trees and moss

Lanterns near trees fill with leaves every autumn and need regular clearing.

Roof lanterns in Annan

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.

What should you expect to pay in Annan?

Guide price, per lantern£175–£395 ex VAT£210–£474 inc VAT

Typical range: £175–£395 ex VAT, which is £210–£474 with 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 Scotland?

Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Annan: questions

Do you cover Annan?

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.

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.

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.
