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. We carry out eaves beam and gutter repairs across Worcestershire, with a guide price from your photos and a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
Signs you need eaves beam and gutter repairs
- Drips along the bottom edge of the lantern
- Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
- Standing water in the eaves channel
What usually causes it?
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.
Roof lanterns in Worcestershire
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.
What should you expect to pay for eaves beam and gutter repairs in Worcestershire?
Typical range: £175–£395 ex VAT, which is £210–£474 with 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?
Straightforward repairs — resealing, gaskets, cappings, eaves and like-for-like parts — don't normally need building regulations approval in England. Replacing the whole lantern or enlarging the opening is different and falls under the Building Regulations 2010; we confirm in writing which route applies before any replacement. 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.
