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 Bordon (GU35) 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
  • Water at the corners after heavy rain
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base

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.

About Bordon and the GU35 area

Sun and UV do more damage than rain on many lanterns here: brittle ridge caps, chalky finishes and hardened gaskets. They're cheap to replace before they let water in.

Bordon is around 28 miles from Southampton, and both are within our Hampshire coverage.

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.

How much does an eaves repair cost?

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.
