Yes, It only leaked in heavy rain. Maybe because when the valley was installed there were no upstands put in place.

Hi Andy, No storage tank. Yes it leaks after raining, I think it has something to do with the valley. I thought about eaves trays as the old felt has rotten and we put in some new felt strips to bridge the gap..but the issue is the facia is set quite high and there isn't much of a downward...

I don't think it's the tile overhang if this instance. As when I spray water over the tiles, the facia is dry. Seems to happen when I spray water into the valley.

I fixed this by re-pointing all the verge tiles from the start till the end of the valley, no more leak down the house wall!

I have water dripping through the facia, I can't see any water running down the facia. Maybe it's getting into soffit and soaking through under the facia? Has anyone experienced this?

Good point, the valley does seem a little flat to me.

It did not work after all! Looks like the water is coming in from under the cement on the left side of the valley! I can slide a business card under the cement so enough room for water to get in...I will do the same for the left side, chisel out the old mortar and re-point. Is it good idea to...

Thanks for your reply. Actually I have fixed the issue and so far it seems to have worked, finders crossed. The solution I used was to hammer and chisel out the old mortar and then replace with new cement. I did not lift the tiles as the first tile on each row is cemented in and I did not want...

Hi, I have water running down the side of my house because of a crack in the valley on my roof. I know this is the cause because I sprayed the spot where the crack is and water started to leak down the house wall. My question is how do I fix it? :) I am guessing I need to cement the tiles again...

Will do! Whilst the weather remains so nice :)

Yes that's paint on the left... Each finial is taking two leafs.. Each leaf costs about £1.10

you can see the difference it's making so far...

I don't think you need to with 23.5K gold, but I think with less than this you would need to use a sealer..at least this is my understanding from what I have read

Thanks, I've already watched this video, it's my main source of reference :)

I am using real gold leaf (23.5K) which will last...Imitation gold (copper) will not last... Thought about paint but thought gold leaf was worth the extra expense for a better looking result
