We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Risca and across the NP11 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

  • Water at the corners after heavy rain
  • 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.

Covering Risca and nearby

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.

We cover Risca as part of Gwent, about 5 miles from Newport, Gwent.

Do you need permission in Wales?

In Wales, 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 Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.

How do I get a price for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Risca?

Which places near Risca do you cover?

As well as Risca, we cover nearby Newport, Gwent, Cwmbran, Caerphilly, Blackwood and the rest of Gwent.

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.
