Hi,

As the title says, when there's heavy rain, it pours down the valley and floods over the corner guttering. This has meant the exterior wall has got wet and has soaked through to he interior wall. I have seen diverters for sale or it there a better option available?

Thanks

That’s a small valley. You don’t need a diverter. You need a competent roofer to sort the valley out. Don’t use whoever looked at it before who used chewing gum to repair it.

Yes, it's not massive. The bodge job was a stop gap until I got new tiles bought but do you think that's responsible for the overflow? Ta
 
Bodges rarely work.
The bottom valley trough is damaged . The mortar slapped in there and the tile joins will just make things worse.
Strip the valley out, replace the troughs in grp or lead and problem solved.
You will have to replace it before long 100%

That's a grp for slate.

You have two grp choices

My choice would be grp Valley trough for tiles, it has a bonded grit strip for your mortar to grab.

And the other is a dry tile valley more suited to fit and requires no mortar.

Any roofing merchant will sell.
As would a lot of builders merchants
