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 Llandrindod Wells (LD1) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

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.
Roof lanterns in Llandrindod Wells
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

What should you expect to pay in Llandrindod Wells?
Most eaves beam and gutter repairs jobs come in between £175 and £395 ex VAT (£210–£474 including 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 Wales?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in Wales. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales); we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for alterations, with Cadw guidance on historic buildings; check with the council before changing a lantern on a listed property.
