The weather has not stopped raining here for weeks, I mean every day so I would not use fibre glass, and how long is this gutter anyway. ubiflex will be fine as long as it is detailed correctly.
Leaky roof, please advise.

It's about 7 metres or more.
You can get Ubiflex in 12m rolls up to 450mm wide.
I suppose the weather is dreary and wet; Accuweather's not forecasting anything good either. I can't help but think the neighbour's cats are going to put holes in the rubber though.

Just wondering, what's a reasonable ballpark price to do this job in the midlands?
So get a leadworker to do your leadwork and a roofer to do your roofing!
If you wish to keep lead in this valley gutter the easiest way would be to install a lead expansion joint every 2 metres. Please get a fully qualified leadworker to do this for you. He would have to check that the lead in the gutters is 'code 5' lead first, then split it and then weld in the expansion joint properly. It is hard to tell from the photo's whether there are any expansion joints on there but as many of my learned colleagues have stated it does look to be a poor design. I would seriously think about making the valley gutter wider to. Installing steps is an option but you would need 3 steps and you might not have enough working height to do this.[/b][/u]
