Why Valleys Are East London’s Most Common Leak Source

Roof valleys channel water from two converging slopes into a single drainage path. They handle more water flow per square metre than any other part of your roof.

Valley Repair vs Replacement in Walthamstow

If the valley lining has a localised hole or crack, a patch repair may be sufficient. If the lining is generally thin, corroded, or has multiple failure points, full replacement is the only reliable option. We never patch a failing valley just to save money in the short term — it will leak again within months. When we replace a valley, we strip the tiles either side to expose the full valley board, replace any rotten timber, and install a new lining from ridge to eaves with proper overlaps and support.
