Roof Valley Repair Cost
A valley carries the water off two roof planes at once, which makes it the highest volume, highest velocity part of the roof. It is also where roofers of a certain era used a cement fillet instead of a lined gutter. Valley work is priced by length and by how much of the boarding underneath has already gone.
- Priced by linear metre of valley plus access
- Old fillet or fatigued lead stripped back to boards
- Boards checked and renewed where soft
- Lined valley formed with correct laps and upstands
- Tiles or slates cut and bedded neatly to the line

What we do differently
Valley repairs, common questions
Can a valley be patched?+
A localised split in otherwise sound lead can be dressed and welded honestly. A cracked cement fillet cannot be patched in any way that lasts, because the crack is movement, and movement carries on.
How do I know if my valley is leaking?+
Look in the loft where the two roof planes meet. Dark staining on the valley boards, damp rafter ends, or daylight along the line are all clear signals. From outside, moss and standing debris in the valley usually means water is not clearing.
Does a valley repair need scaffold?+
For anything more than a short low level valley, yes, because it is sustained working at a slope junction. We price the access with the job.
