We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Stranraer and across the DG9 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.

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

What you might be seeing

  • 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

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 Stranraer

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.

What should you expect to pay in Stranraer?

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?

In Scotland, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
