Valley gutters

Lead Valley gutters are often the one element of a traditional roof that require simple preventative maintenance such as the removal of debris. Poor maintenance often leads to blockages and subsequent water ingress, which can be costly. In some cases poor design or installation of lead guttering can be the root cause of problems such as : underside corrosion, water ponding due to inadequate falls and water ingress due to incorrect detailing.
