Dear Experts,
[Edit: photo wouldn't upload for some reason, so here's a link:]
Image of lead valley and adjacent slates
The photo shows a lead valley where a dormer meets the main roof.
It has been suggested to us that the slates should extend further over the lead, and the current construction is "not normal". We have a quote for replacing the adjacent tiles with wider ones.
We've never had any leaks here, and I think this construction is unchanged from when the current roof was installed in the 1980s. (The building is much older.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Phil.
