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 Bearsden (G61) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Is it time for eaves beam and gutter repairs?
- Water at the corners after heavy rain
- 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.
Trees and moss
Lanterns near trees fill with leaves every autumn and need regular clearing.
Covering Bearsden and nearby
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.
Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.
Bearsden is around 5 miles from Glasgow, and both are within our Glasgow and Clyde coverage.
Close by, we also cover Clydebank (3 miles), Renfrew (4 miles), Bishopbriggs (4 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Scotland. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.

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.
