Hello could anyone help me on some guttering design. I have attached an image: (1) Do you agree that its best to run this gutter away from the valley? (a) If i run away from the valley should I drop onto the sloped roof below or take the downpipe all the way to the gulley pot? (b) or should I run towards the valley then I dont need any downpipes? (2) With gutter 2 could an option be for me to run to the right then at 42 degrees down the slope on the facia to connect with (3). I ideally dont want to create any more soak aways

After 8 months of going very slowly on the main house build, returning to work 2 days a week plus a bereavement has not helped, I am approaching needing the hidden gutter detail. The architect gave me some ideas but after a lot of discussion with some of my materials colleagues I have concluded that zinc / grp / powder coated aluminium wont cut it and I have decided to go for lead. It is a hidden gutter and having looked at loads I have come up with a couple of ways of making it happen, see section images below. I think I like option 2 as I don't have the phaff with very short roof tiled section at the eaves. Both have a slight problem in that cannot see a way of getting a through draft under the supporting marine ply. I also wonder if I should give up on the second, upper, over lap of the lead with the VCL and take the lead all the way up to the underside of the tiles, this saving a problem with an insect guard. Anyway thoughts appreciated.
