The roofs in Scunthorpe
Because Scunthorpe grew quickly through the twentieth century, whole streets went up together and their roofs are now ageing together. It is why a single estate can produce several re-roofs in a year and why neighbours often compare quotes. The pattern is consistent: sound covering, corroded fixings, perished underlay, and mortar bedded ridge and verge at the end of its service life.
Scunthorpe's housing is largely twentieth century, so a great many of its roofs are concrete interlocking tile laid on felt, all reaching the end of their fixings around the same time.
On Scunthorpe estate housing, valleys between the main roof and a projecting gable are a regular call out. Where the covering around them is also near the end of its life, doing both at once saves paying for access twice.
What valley replacements in Scunthorpe involves
- Valley boards and structureThe boarding and any structure under the valley checked and replaced where it has been wet for years.
- Lead valleysTraditional lead lined valleys formed in the correct code, on new boarding, with the tiles cut and bedded to a clean line.
- Mitred and swept valleysOn plain tile roofs where the original detail is a mitred or swept valley, restored rather than replaced with a trough.
That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our valley replacements page.
Signs your Scunthorpe property needs this
- Moss and debris packed into the channel so water backs up under the tiles
- Cement mortar filling the valley, which is a previous repair and a certain future leak
- Tiles along the valley cut badly, sitting proud or slipping into the channel
Why cement in a valley always fails
It is very common to find a valley that somebody has filled with sand and cement, either to stop a leak or to tidy up badly cut tiles. It never lasts. Cement is rigid, the valley moves, and the mortar cracks along its whole length. Worse, it blocks the channel, so water that should be running away sits against the tile edges and finds its way underneath.

FAQs
Valley replacements in Scunthorpe, questions we get asked
Will you take the cement out of my valley?
Yes, and we will show you what is under it. Cement filled valleys are one of the most common bad repairs we find.
How do I know it is the valley leaking?
Valley leaks usually show up in the room below the junction of two roof slopes and keep coming back after tiles have been replaced. From the roof a failed valley is normally obvious, which is why we look before quoting.
Do you cover Scunthorpe?
Yes. Scunthorpe is covered by our Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178, and valley replacements is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Bottesford and Flixborough from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Scunthorpe for valley replacements?
Ring the Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Scunthorpe is in the middle of our Scunthorpe patch, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
Will you quote valley replacements over the phone?
No. We survey the roof first, photograph what we find and put the quote in writing. A price given without seeing the roof is a guess.
Do you need to see the roof before quoting?
Yes, always. A roof quote given without seeing the roof is a number somebody hopes is high enough, and it is the reason so many people end up with a price that changes once work starts.
