We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Stoke-on-Trent and across the ST4 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?
- 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
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 Stoke-on-Trent and the ST4 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 Stoke-on-Trent as part of Staffordshire, about 14 miles from Stafford.
Close by, we also cover Newcastle-under-Lyme (2 miles), Kidsgrove (6 miles), Congleton (11 miles).
What should you expect to pay in Stoke-on-Trent?
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 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.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in Stoke-on-Trent: 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.
Which places near Stoke-on-Trent do you cover?
As well as Stoke-on-Trent, we cover nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove, Congleton, Crewe and the rest of Staffordshire.
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.
