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 Fleetwood (FY7) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.
Signs you need eaves beam and gutter repairs
- Water at the corners after heavy rain
- Standing water in the eaves channel
- Staining on the lining just below the eaves
What usually causes it?
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.
About Fleetwood and the FY7 area
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
Fleetwood is around 17 miles from Preston, and both are within our Lancashire coverage.
Neighbouring places we cover include Thornton-Cleveleys (4 miles), Blackpool (8 miles), Morecambe (12 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Fleetwood?
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.
