Roof Valley Replacement & Valley Gutter Repairs
A common cause of a leaky roof can often be the valleys, otherwise known as valley gutters. Old rusted valley gutters will start to leak as they rust out.
The common issue of an over-bedded valley may also arise. The best solution is often to replace the entire valley with new zinc or colorbond material. Depending on the owner's preference, the valley can be left dry (without cement work) or treated with a tar-based product called storm seal. It is no longer in line with the Australian Building Standards to re-bed and re-point a valley.
Take a look at our in-depth overview of our roof valley replacement service below:

We begin the valley replacement process by removing all the tiles.
We now remove all the old cement work from the valley.

The valley tiles are re-installed. Any tiles that are broken or short are re-cut as required.
We install the valley seal under the tiles. The valley seal will help to form a barrier against water, insects, birds and leaves.
The valley replacement is now complete. The ridge above are bedded and pointed and the roof is ready for paint.
