We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs in Swindon and across the SN1 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

  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Standing water in the eaves channel
  • Staining on the lining just below the eaves

Common causes we find

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.

Roof lanterns in Swindon

Most inland lantern leaks aren't storm damage; they're usually tired sealant, a lifted capping or blocked eaves drainage. All three are quick to find and fix once you know where to look.

Close by, we also cover Cirencester (14 miles), Chippenham (16 miles), Witney (20 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per lantern£175–£395 ex VAT£210–£474 inc VAT

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?

In England, 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, so we set out the route in writing first. 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.
