Roofer in Storrington – Valley & Flashing Repairs
Where two roof slopes meet, all the rain they collect funnels into one channel — the valley. Along with the flashings around chimneys and abutments, valleys handle more water than any other part of the roof, which is why they’re so often the first part to leak.
Evo Roofing repairs and renews roof valleys and flashings for homes in Storrington, Pulborough, West Chiltington and the surrounding villages under the Downs.
Valley and flashing work we carry out
- Repairing and replacing lead valleys that have split or worn through
- Renewing valleys in lead or modern GRP valley trough
- Refixing and re-dressing chimney flashing and apron flashings
- Clearing valleys blocked with moss and debris — a common cause of “mystery” leaks
- Re-laying the tiles or slates that border the valley properly afterwards
Why valleys leak
Lead is superb but not immortal: decades of thermal movement eventually crack it, usually as a fine split you’d never spot from the ground. Debris makes things worse — a valley half-blocked with moss holds water against the joint lines until it finds a way under the tiles. And on some roofs the valley was simply laid too narrow or with too few laps in the first place. Whatever the cause, water in a valley travels, so the stain on the ceiling is rarely under the fault itself — finding the true entry point is the job.

Storrington roofing questions
What is a roof valley and why does it leak?
The channel where two slopes meet — it carries more water than anywhere else on the roof. Decades of thermal movement eventually crack the lead, usually as a split you can’t see from the ground.
Lead or GRP for valley replacement?
Both work well — lead is traditional and long-lived; GRP valley trough is cost-effective and durable. We’ll recommend based on your roof and budget.
Why is there a leak but no visible damage?
Valley and flashing leaks travel — the stain on the ceiling is rarely under the fault. Finding the true entry point is the job, and it’s where we start.
