Roof Valley too wide…

[KM27]

hello!

I have a leak in a ceiling (slow as has been there for approx year and not dramatically worsened but is damp to touch so want to sort) of a room directly under one valley. But no moisture in loft directly above it!

and on the other side a leak into the loft….

One roofer has told me the valleys are too wide, the other said that too old… looking for some advice before I pick which to go with for the job!

Many thanks

It's a bodged up mess

ok, so needs to be done regardless i am guessing...

if we are getting a dormer at back in coming months this wouldn't be work that then gets destroyed / re done? or does that depend on our specific plans...?

Depends on what your plans are.

It appears multiple repairs have been carried out.
It's only to wide if the leads to narrow.
I'd say get it stripped out and re tiled.

Probably a nice slate roof at one time.

And last question on this sorry - it is possible that a issue with a valley (the one pictured) could cause a visible leak in the front room (directly below) but not in the loft? I assume the water can run down something and then enter the structure slightly lower....?

Its quite common for the water to get behind the lead and travel down the boards or even the valley rafters.
