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 Lossiemouth (IV31) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Is it time for eaves beam and gutter repairs?

  • Water at the corners after heavy rain
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Standing water in the eaves channel

Common causes we find

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 Lossiemouth

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

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

Do you need permission in Scotland?

In Scotland, 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 (Scotland) Regulations 2004, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
