In Deal, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Signs you need 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

Why it happens

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 Deal

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.

Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.

What should you expect to pay in Deal?

Guide price, per lantern£175–£395 ex VAT£210–£474 inc VAT

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 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.

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.
