We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Keighley and across the BD21 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.
Signs you need eaves beam and gutter repairs
- Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
- Water at the corners after heavy rain
- Standing water in the eaves channel
What usually causes it?
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.
About Keighley and the BD21 area
Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.
From Leeds to Keighley is roughly 15 miles — all part of the West Yorkshire area we cover.
We also cover nearby Shipley (6 miles), Guiseley (8 miles), Bradford (8 miles).
How much should it cost?
Guide price for eaves beam and gutter repairs: £175–£395 ex VAT (£210–£474 inc 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 Keighley: questions
Can you repair a lantern someone else installed in Keighley?
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.
Which places near Keighley do you cover?
As well as Keighley, we cover nearby Shipley, Guiseley, Bradford, Yeadon and the rest of West Yorkshire.
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.
