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 Rhondda (CF42) 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

What you might be seeing

  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Standing water in the eaves channel
  • Staining on the lining just below the eaves

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 Rhondda

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.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Rhondda: questions

Do you need to visit to price eaves beam and gutter repairs?

Not always. Clear photos are often enough for a guide price. Where the cause isn't obvious, a visit to inspect and water-test is charged from £145 ex VAT, confirmed before we come.

Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Rhondda?

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.
