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. Send photos from Droitwich (WR9) and we'll tell you which it is — with the price agreed in writing before any work.

Signs you need eaves beam and gutter repairs

  • Water at the corners after heavy rain
  • Moss, leaves or grit visible along the base
  • Staining on the lining just below the eaves

Common causes we find

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.

Covering Droitwich and nearby

Leaf fall from garden trees is the most common cause of eaves overflow on suburban extensions. If your lantern sits near trees, clearing the eaves channel each autumn prevents a lot of drips.

How much should it cost?

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

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?

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.

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.
