Roof Valley Repair & Replacements RG12, RG42
A roof valley is located where two sloped roofs meet. It’s designed to guide rainwater down the roof where it then typically discharges into the guttering. Roof valleys are subjected to more rainwater than any other part of the roof. During a downpour, the valley can experience a torrent of water and it’s not uncommon for an older roof valley to leak.
A common issue is leaks caused by blockages. If the valley is full of leaves, twigs and other organic material such as roof moss, rainwater may back up and enter the loft through the overlapping tiles. Blockages are fairly easy for professional roofers like Homefix to resolve and the work shouldn’t take long. If, however, the leak is due to failure of the valley components, then a full replacement or substantial repairs may be required.
Concrete Roof Valley Leak
These types of valleys are notorious for leaking, the tiles are so heavy that they often cause the roof timbers to sag, gaps then appear, or the tiles slip, and the result is always the same, they leak. Concrete tiles often crack and can be difficult to replace without damaging others. Temporary repairs are possible, but concrete valley tiles should ideally be replaced with a more modern and reliable product such as fibreglass.
Fatigue Split Leaking Lead Roof Valley
Some roof valleys are made with lead, which is long-lasting, waterproof and flexible enough to use almost anywhere on a roof. Lead has a high rate of thermal expansion; it expands a lot when it gets hot and shrinks a lot when it gets cold. This can result in splits, which causes water ingress. If roofing lead has splits it needs a repair with a sleeve, or if it is too thin then whole valley will need replacing with thicker lead or fibreglass.
Fibreglass roof valley failure
Fibreglass is a popular material to use in a roof valley, it’s lightweight, cheap, resists UV rays and is watertight. Unfortunately, older fibreglass products weren’t as sturdy as their modern counterparts. Some that were installed 20 – 30 years ago are cracking, splitting or leaking. One-off damage, perhaps from a fallen tree branch, can often be repaired while damage due to age or wear and tear may require a full valley replacement.
Blocked Roof Valley
If a roof valley is blocked by organic material such as leaves and twigs, then rainwater may back up and enter the loft. Bits of broken tile, concrete, old aerial cables or brackets or any other part of the roof that’s damaged or broken off can also become lodged in the valley where it blocks the flow of water. If your valley is leaking, Homefix can remove any blockages and inspect the valley itself for any signs of damage or wear and tear.
Plain Tiled Valley (broken tiles, aging, etc)
Plain tiles are small tiles and many roof valleys will have been constructed with these tiles. Tiled roof valleys fail and leak for various reasons, for example a broken tile in the centre of the valley or the general age of the roof, wear and tear or failed and rotten timbers. Repairs are often straight-forward, replace a broken tile for a new one or if necessary, replace the full valley.

FAQs for Roof Repairs, Gable End Repairs, Garage Roof Repairs
Leaks are often the first sign that something is wrong. Make sure you have your roof and gutters inspected twice a year. Look for cracked, warped or missing shingles or tiles or excessive surface granules collecting in the gutter – these can all be visible signs that your roof has a problem. Indoors you should look out for bubbled or peeling wallpaper, cracked paint, discoloured plasterboard or anything out of the norm. Remember, the longer you leave a problem the more expensive the solution can become.
The cost can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage, materials needed, labor costs in your area, and other factors. It’s best to get a professional assessment and multiple quotes to determine the cost.
A gable end refers to the triangular portion of a wall that forms the end of a pitched roof. It may require repair due to damage caused by weather, pests, or structural issues.
This type of repair can be completed in the shortest amount of time and a single valley can be completed in a morning.
Just because your roof has a leak it does not mean it needs a complete re-roof. A leak usually stems from a loose, broken or cracked roof tile. However, a complete roof system failure or a generally unsafe roof will need a complete re-fit.
Look out for signs such as water leaks or stains on the ceiling, ponding water on the roof surface, blistering or cracking of the roofing material, visible wear and tear, or a sagging roof deck.
Cracked or broken tiles are a common occurrence. When they do occur, we recommend that they are removed and replaced as soon as possible to minimise damage to the sub-structure. Replacing damaged tiles is a skilled job, you need professional roofers like Apex Roofing & Wall Coating to ensure your safety and that the job is done properly so that no further damage is done while replacing the tiles.
A typical repair such as replacing a few tiles or fitting a lead sleeve should take around half a day and that includes erecting and dismantling the access equipment.
According to the Health and Safety Executive’s guidelines, roof edge protection should be put up for any substantial roofing work or any project that lasts more than a few minutes. Roof edge protection usually means either a scaffold or access tower put up to around gutter height.
Yes, regular maintenance, such as inspecting and repairing loose or damaged siding, ensuring proper drainage, and addressing any signs of water infiltration promptly, can help prevent gable end damage.
The decision to repair or replace a roof depends on the overall condition of the roof and the extent of the damage. In some cases, minor repairs can address specific issues, while extensive damage or an aging roof may require a complete roof replacement.
We’d recommend replacing any areas of the roof that are particularly bad. Otherwise, we would treat it using safe products.
Only in very exceptional circumstances such as when a roof is very structurally unsafe. Otherwise, you can stay at home.
It will depend on several factors such as the extent of the damage and the materials it is constructed from. We will always repair when it is an option, but sometimes a full replacement is the only solution. We offer free no obligation roof surveys and quotes so whatever the situation, we can advise you on the best course of action.
This depends on the length of the valley and the materials chosen to replace it with. Including the erection and dismantling of the access equipment, the work should take around a day or two.
It’s recommended to inspect your garage roof at least once a year, especially before and after extreme weather conditions like storms or heavy snowfall.
Common causes include water infiltration, high winds, poor construction, lack of maintenance, pest infestation, and settling of the foundation.
Look for signs such as cracks, bulging, rot, water damage, loose or missing bricks or siding, and any indications of structural instability.
The total cost of your roof valley repairs will depend on several factors including your location, the access to your roof, the size of your roof and the type of material chosen for the repairs. No two projects are the same. Please contact us and we will be happy to provide a free site survey and quotation and a timeframe for completion.
