Stainless steel valley gutter with soldered down stand.

Just finished 4 of the same in Middlesex. We used 0.4mm stainless steel. The whole thing weighs less than 20kg and is guaranteed for over 100 years. To avoid the condensation issue I would bituthene the valley first, always good practise. £500 cash supply and fix including lifetime guarantee.

It could be covered in stainless steel with a separate flashing chased into the wall and up and under the tiles. It could also be covered in lead or rubber butvi'm not sure there is a cheap DIY option with something like this.

Standing seam stainless steel (uginox) can go as low as 3 degrees, have you looked at this option?

Hi, a ball park figure would be £1500 but there are many variables. You can email some info to [email protected] and I can give a more accurate quote. Yes I've completed several jobs in Nottingham, I think the most recent was the retirement village in Clifton. I look forward to...

You can't solder lead. You have to weld it with Oxy Accetaline bottles. The short term bodge would be mastic lead sealant. If you got someone in to weld the split they could charge £250 so the £600 seems reasonable. That's a long piece of lead so should be split into several pieces, if it...

Always more than one way to skin a cat........as long as the end result works!

Hi. I'm not sure how zinc compares in price but you would receive a lifetime guarantee if completed by ourselves. London is within our catchment and a rough estimate would be around £2000 for the size quoted. Hope this helps.

Hi there, the cost of supplying and installing the zinc would be around £3000 plus vat. As for the insulation you have lots of options- you can fit as much as possible in between the joists and as much as possible on top of the roof but this is where costs can escalate. Zinc can be fitted...

Didn't you get a 25 year guarantee with your new roof?
