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. We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs across Gloucestershire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

What usually causes it?
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 Gloucestershire
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 for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Gloucestershire?
Guide price for eaves beam and gutter repairs: £175–£395 ex VAT (£210–£474 inc 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 England?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Gloucestershire: questions
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.
Which towns in Gloucestershire do you cover?
All of Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Yate, Tewkesbury, Cirencester. Rural and remote addresses are covered by arrangement.
