Valley replacement in Melbourne

Rusted, leaking or damaged valley irons replaced, with the tiles lifted and re-laid along the new valley.

About valley replacement

Valleys are the metal channels where two roof slopes meet. They carry a large share of the water off a tiled roof, so when they rust through, fill with debris or get damaged, leaks inside the house are often not far behind.

Valley replacement means taking the tiles off along the valley, removing the old valley iron, fitting a new one and re-laying the tiles so they sit correctly into it. It is a common add-on to a restoration and can also be quoted on its own.

While the tiles are off we can also see the condition of the timber and sarking along the valley. If anything under there needs attention we stop, show you photos and give you a written price before doing anything extra. Keeping valleys clear of leaves afterwards helps the new valley do its job for longer, especially if you have trees overhanging the roof.

The benefits

Stops a major leak source

Rusted valleys are one of the most common causes of roof leaks.

Full fix, not a patch

A new valley iron replaces rusted metal rather than covering it up.

Pairs with a restoration

Doing valleys during a restoration means the roof is sorted in one job.

Valley replacement: common questions

Can you replace valleys without a full restoration?

Yes. Valley replacement can be quoted on its own.

Will the tiles match after?

We re-use your existing tiles where they are sound, so the roof looks the same.

How do I know if my valleys are rusted?

Often you can see rust from the ground or in photos. Send us pictures and we will take a look.
