Does the valley in above pictures comply with the NCC? From the looks of it, they've used some really wide valley gutter and screwed the ridge cap directly onto the valley. Not to mention there is a lot of buckling / warping of both ridge cap and the valley gutter. Not sure why they didn't have colorbond sheet, there are 3 valleys that are like this. We have a building inspector so we will enquire with him, but I also wanted to check in with anyone familiar with NCC here. Looking at the NCC, typical valley gutter should look like this?

Not sure if it's standard on valleys, but my valley flashing were over bent past 90 degrees. Re: NCC - Roof Valley - Does this comply? 7Nov 13, 2023 5:36 pm Yes thats what I am thinking. The upturn under the sheet on the valley piece directs this flow down the valley.
As I miss edited the wrong post.. Not sure if its standard, but my valley flashing was over bent past 90 degrees. Re: NCC - Roof Valley - Does this comply? 8Nov 13, 2023 5:38 pm Ardo Yes thats what I am thinking. The upturn under the sheet on the valley piece directs this flow down the valley. Yes, the new requirement for the upturn was added in the NCC update in 2022 for this reason supposedly. With the driving wind, they were finding situations where you still get the water into the roof from the valley. Re: NCC - Roof Valley - Does this comply? 9Nov 14, 2023 3:07 pm The photos show lack of workmanship and aesthetic appearance, and the roof does not follow roof plan in breach of builders warranties.

Re: NCC - Roof Valley - Does this comply? 12Nov 14, 2023 6:01 pm Ardo Perhaps the little lines under the highlighted bit that identify it as being corrugated to the valley? Yes, correct Ardo. Would anyone in their right mind accept the roof as built when it is drawn as corrugated to the valley?
