I imagine what you do with the valleys is just cut the lead sheet in half, presuming they are in the 3 feet or 1 meter width.


A simple detail like cutting around the top of the valley and not covering it up are details rarely seen here.

I look forward to seeing your pictures as I am sure everyone here is.

Hello Red Cedar, the lead comes in what every width you want, the valley lead is 18" (450mm) and comes in 6mtr (20ft)lenghts we cut the lenghts down to 1.5mtrs (5ft) this is to allow the lead to move with out cracking.
Anyway ive added a few finished photos, there still a side extention and a double garage to go on yet so i will show some more when there done, im away on holiday for a week so should start it when i come back.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Tom, yes they are to hold the slates to the gable ends as the house is in a valley and it gets very windy.
We have done the verge in a new product called 'easy verge' which is a plastic filler that goes over the brick work and under the batten(timber)
the slates then sit on top, it was quick and easy to install and use and nice to look at.
Cheers
Dave
