If your tiles are flat then you will need soakers if they have a profile you can flash on to the tile code 5 lead 16" wide will do for the valley.
Flashing over tiles, 450mm lead for valleys.
yes my tiles hav a profile on them so i should save a few £`s on lead just 1 more thing when i cut my tiles to form the valley do i need to put those comb things under them? were i come from we call them (bird stop)
You can use a fibre glass dry valley if you want to save some money on lead.
Small comment on above posts, as you say it's a dormer I'm assuming it is mid roof so the valley doesn't meet the main eave, if so remember you will need saddles at the top and bottom of the valley with GRP, by the time you buy the lead for the saddles it may well end up costing the same as leading the whole valley
