Hello
If it’s very old and perished it’s best renewed, If newer lead valley that’s holed you can snip out the holed area and repair, But this has to be the full width of the valley

Scott · Answer

get a can of acropol its a fiber glass coating and is great for led work repairs

Jamie · Answer

The only proper way to repair the hole in the existing lead is by lead solder or welding but this is a specialist job . You could also cut the lead where the hole is and put a patch over or under the cut.

Luke · Answer

Yes fixed easily with led. Don't need to replace the valley just the section where the hole is by cutting and removing the section of damaged lead and tucking a new piece under the old lead at the top of the repair by 6 inches and over lapping the bottom  of the removed section by 6 inch. A few tiles or slates will have to be removed in the process then put back.

Michael · Answer

It can be patched over depending on the size of the hole. Patch repair will not last as long as a full fit but will hold the rain out for a few years. Others may say different :)

Brian · Answer

you need to clean and dry of the area then apply a suitable patch of flashband then apply a layer of acropol
