Valley Gutter Repair & Renewal, Blyth
Old mortar-filled valleys on cottage roofs across Blyth villages crack and lift over decades. Modern practice is either lead or a dry-valley trough — mortar-only valleys are considered obsolete now. We're regularly on roofs close to the A189, out around Port of Blyth, through Cowpen and Newsham.
- Code 5 lead as standard for domestic valleys
- Dry-valley GRP or plastic trough where the client prefers a modern detail
- Tile-and-a-half cut and clipped at the valley edge (not just mortar-bedded)
- Underlay taken through the valley continuously — no cut-and-lap under a lead flow
- Stainless valley clips on exposed pitches
- Old lead recycled and credited off the invoice where worth doing

Roof valley repair in Blyth — FAQs
Can you patch a valley or does it need full replacement?+
Small localised cracks in Code 5 lead can be patched with lead-burn or a lead-flash patch. Anything longer than about 300mm we recommend full replacement — patching a whole run is more work than replacing.
How long does a valley replacement take?+
Single valley (bay or dormer): half a day plus scaffold day. Full valley on a large hipped roof: 1–2 days. Scaffold usually 1–3 days depending on access.
Will the tiles either side get damaged?+
Any that break during removal get replaced from stock — we always allow reclaimed tiles to match age. Included in the quote.
Do you cover Blyth and surrounding areas?+
Yes — NE24, plus Cramlington, Bedlington, Ashington.
