What's the diagnosis

typical London standards...
First i'd cut the gutter back shorter. It could easily be shooting water over the top of the lead flashing piece., once this is done, it will allow the valley lining to lay flatter. (looks like zinc but cant be sure)
Check the width of the valley linning and check there are water checks up both edges.
There is at least one tile with a corner off, change that too. (Ludlow plus)

Thanks very much for your advice. How much would a roofer charge to sort this out?

Couple of hundred imo, but then it is London.

Anyone of you non-London roofers know a good roofer in London?

 

[datarebal]

cost depends on access should be fairly easy to sort providing there are no hidden nasties. What part of London?

About £2k seeing as your a debt collector

I had a builder over who said that the water is coming in from the valley which is bent and isn't wide enough. He thought it should be replaced. I also asked him to replace two guttering and fascias along that side of the roof, one 3m long and the other 1m.

This builder was recommended by someone who was happy with the work. He quoted £730 saying that he is charging as much partly because he needs to get the lead to redo the valley and that it isn't cheap. Is £730 a reasonable amount to pay for this job in London?
