Professional Valley Flashing by Bestcare Facilities Management
A roof valley is the channel formed where two opposing roof slopes meet, and it carries a disproportionately high volume of rainwater compared to the general roof surface. The valley flashing is the waterproof lining that prevents this high-volume flow from infiltrating the roof structure — and it must be correctly installed to function without maintenance for the life of the roof. Bestcare Facilities Management provides expert roof valley flashing installation services in Nairobi, Kiambu, and throughout Kenya, for both new builds and re-roofing projects.
Roof valley flashing installation requires careful planning to ensure the liner is wide enough for the expected water flow, lapped correctly at junctions, and integrated properly with the surrounding roof covering. Under-sized or poorly lapped valley flashings fail quickly under Kenya’s heavy rain conditions, causing some of the most damaging leaks a roof can experience.
Bestcare’s Valley Flashing Installation Approach
Pre-Installation Survey — The valley geometry is measured and the water flow volume estimated based on the contributing roof area.
Material Selection — The appropriate valley lining material is selected based on roof type, expected lifespan, and budget.
Substrate Preparation — The valley batten and decking are inspected and repaired as required before the new lining is installed.
Lining Installation — The valley lining is correctly sized, lapped at joints, and fixed to the valley structure.
Tile or Sheet Integration — The surrounding roof covering is reinstated over the new valley flashing with correct margins maintained.
Water Flow Testing — The completed valley is water-tested before the project is signed off.
