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 Aldershot (GU12) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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

Is it time for eaves beam and gutter repairs?

  • Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Staining on the lining just below the eaves

Common causes we find

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.

Do you need permission in England?

In England, 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, so we set out the route in writing first. 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 Aldershot: questions

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

Send a few photos of the lantern and the problem, with your Aldershot postcode. We'll reply with a guide price and tell you whether a visit is needed before we can fix the price.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Aldershot?

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

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.
