In Cowbridge, as everywhere, 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 and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Wet leaves and moss being cleared from the eaves channel at the base of a roof lantern

What you might be seeing

  • Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
  • Water at the corners after heavy rain
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base

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.

Covering Cowbridge and nearby

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.

Cowbridge is around 11 miles from Cardiff, and both are within our South Glamorgan coverage.

We also cover nearby Llantwit Major (4 miles), Bridgend (7 miles), Barry (8 miles).

Do you need permission in Wales?

In Wales, 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 Regulations 2010 (as applied in Wales), so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
