Covering Kelso and nearby
Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.
From Galashiels to Kelso is roughly 15 miles — all part of the Scottish Borders area we cover.
