Bespoke Lead Roof Valley

Bespoke Lead Valley Installation on a Victorian Property in Tarporley by Browns Lead Roofing

Browns Lead Roofing recently completed a specialist roofing project involving the installation of new (Bespoke) lead valleys on a Victorian house in Tarporley, ensuring long-term weather protection while preserving the character of the historic property. Lead valleys are a crucial component of traditional roofing systems, particularly on period homes where durability and authenticity are essential.

Victorian properties often feature complex roof designs with multiple pitches that direct large volumes of rainwater into the valleys. In this case, the existing valleys had deteriorated over time, leading to water ingress and potential damage to the underlying roof structure. Browns Lead Roofing carefully removed the failed materials before preparing the roof to accommodate high-quality, code-compliant lead valley linings.

The new lead valleys were expertly formed, welded and dressed before being installed to allow for natural thermal movement, preventing cracking and ensuring longevity. Particular attention was given to correct laps, expansion gaps, and secure fixing methods to meet best roofing practice. 

Once installed, the lead valleys effectively channel rainwater away from the roof, protecting both the tiles and the internal structure of the Victorian home.

Using traditional techniques and modern expertise, Browns Lead Roofing ensured the new valleys blended seamlessly with the existing roof covering, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the property. Lead is the ideal material for valley installations due to its flexibility, durability, and resistance to corrosion, making it especially suitable for heritage and period buildings.
