We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Hexham and across the NE46 area. 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.
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
What usually causes it?
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.
About Hexham and the NE46 area
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.
Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.
We cover Hexham as part of Northumberland, about 21 miles from Morpeth.
Close by, we also cover Consett (13 miles), Stanley (18 miles), Gosforth (19 miles).
How much should it cost?
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?
Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. 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.

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.
