In Wishaw, 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.

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

What you might be seeing

  • Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Standing water in the eaves channel

Why it happens

Blocked weep slots

Debris settles at the eaves and blocks the outlets, so the channel fills and overflows inward.

Trees and moss

Lanterns near trees fill with leaves every autumn and need regular clearing.

Roof lanterns in Wishaw

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Do you need permission in Scotland?

Most lantern repairs in Scotland need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.

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.
