Is Valley Repair the Right Fix?

The valley is where two roof slopes meet and channel water away — a high-failure junction on Winchester’s period terraces. These are the warning signs. New Alresford’s housing and setting mean some faults show up here more than elsewhere.

When it is not the answer: A valley that is simply blocked with debris needs clearing, not rebuilding — we will clear and inspect before recommending any lead renewal. Read the full guide.

Customer Reviews

What Customers Say

★★★★★

"Had a leak for months that two other roofers had not fixed. These found it was the back gutter behind the chimney — replaced it and the ceiling dried out within two weeks."

Helen A. · St Giles Hill, Winchester
★★★★★

"Valley lead had been patched with silicone by a previous owner. They replaced the full valley in code 5 lead. No issues through the wettest winter we have had."

Rob C. · Fulflood, Winchester
★★★★★

"Diagnosed correctly from a proper survey rather than guessing. The damp was from the valley not the ridge as I had been told. Fixed properly first time."

Janet M. · Hyde, Winchester

The process

From First Call to Sign-Off in New Alresford

1. Free survey

We survey the whole roof and go into the loft, following the leak to its real source. In New Alresford, the roof type and the access on streets like Broad Street guide our approach.

2. Written quote

To finish, fixed price naming lead code or GRP spec, within 48 hours.

3. Scheduling & access

On completion, valley work needs safe standing, so a tower or scaffold is arranged.

4. The work

On site, old lining stripped, new code-4/5 lead or GRP laid with correct laps and upstands, tiles redressed.

5. Cleanup & guarantee

Afterwards, debris cleared, 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Timescales

Access

Valleys sit mid-slope, so a tower or scaffold is required for safe access. Scaffold is specified for: most valley rebuilds — the mid-slope position needs secure standing - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.

FAQ

Valley Repair New Alresford — Questions

Lead valley re-dressing in New Alresford: £150–£350. Full lead valley replacement: £450–£900 depending on length. Mortar valley repair: £200–£450. Free survey and written quote — call 01962 809171.

Valley failure in New Alresford typically presents as interior damp on the ceiling 1–3 metres from the actual valley position. The water tracks horizontally after entering at the valley. If you have a damp patch that does not appear to be directly below a chimney or tile, a valley survey is the correct first step.

New Alresford's Georgian and Victorian housing typically has lead-lined valleys on Victorian and 1930s properties. We confirm the valley type and specification at survey.

The primary causes in New Alresford are age (original Victorian and 1930s lead is now 80–100 years old), underweight lead from previous repairs (code 3 or 4 where code 5 is required), and silicone patch repairs that delay rather than resolve failure.

For re-dressing existing sound lead, yes — the surrounding tiles may not need lifting. For full valley replacement, the cut tiles on both sides must be lifted and relaid. We minimise disturbance to surrounding tile work on all New Alresford valley repairs.

Code 5 (2.24mm, 25kg/m²) as the BS 6915 minimum for valley linings. We never install code 3 or 4 lead in a valley position. The cost difference is marginal; the lifespan difference is 20–30 years.

Correctly specified code 5 lead valley with correct thermal movement allowance: 60–80 years. This is the expected lifespan on a New Alresford property where installation follows BS 6915 and Lead Sheet Association guidance.

Yes — valley outlet clearing is part of every valley survey and repair visit. Blocked valley outlets cause water to back up and overflow at the valley foot, accelerating failure. This is included in the survey, not an additional charge.

Yes — mortar valleys on post-war New Alresford properties are often converted to lead on re-roofing. This adds £200–£400 to the valley cost but eliminates the mortar cracking that causes mortar valley failure. We include both options in re-roof quotes where mortar valleys are present.

An active valley leak causing ceiling damage should be assessed within 24–48 hours. Call 01962 809171 to book an emergency survey. We cover all of New Alresford and can typically attend same-day or next-morning for active leaks.
