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 Kirkby-in-Ashfield (NG17) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Why it happens
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.

Guide prices for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
