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 Haddington (EH41) 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
Common causes we find
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 Haddington
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
