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 Worksop (S80) 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
- Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
- Standing water in the eaves channel
- Staining on the lining just below the eaves
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.
About Worksop and the S80 area
Lanterns in central England see a bit of everything — summer sun that ages seals and end caps, autumn leaf fall that blocks eaves, and frosty mornings that bring condensation. A yearly check covers all three.
We cover Worksop as part of Nottinghamshire, about 24 miles from Nottingham.
Neighbouring places we cover include Retford (8 miles), Staveley (10 miles), Mansfield (12 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Worksop?
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.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Worksop: 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 Worksop?
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.
How much does an eaves repair cost?
Clearing and resealing is usually £175–£395 ex VAT; rebuilding a damaged eaves section is priced on survey. You get a fixed price in writing first.
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.
