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

What usually causes it?

Blocked weep slots

Debris settles at the eaves and blocks the outlets, so the channel fills and overflows inward.

Trees and moss

Lanterns near trees fill with leaves every autumn and need regular clearing.

Eaves beam and gutter repairs in West Glamorgan: questions

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.

Which towns in West Glamorgan do you cover?

All of West Glamorgan, including Swansea, Neath, Gorseinon, Port Talbot. Rural and remote addresses are covered by arrangement.

How do I get a price for eaves beam and gutter repairs in West Glamorgan?
