Roof valley problem

[Johnjohn]

Some cold call roofers knocked on my neighbours door ( elderly guy) and carried out this work.

They just filled up the valley with mortar.

I know that what they have done is wrong but could someone tell me the possible implications of leaving it like this ??

 

Thanks in advance, Johnjohn

Oh dear.

You don't need us to tell you it's badly done, even if it was a good idea.

Seems to have cracked already too, which will let water in.

It will crack more.

It will absorb and hold water and fall apart over a few years, and may damage the tiles and valley.

If there was already a genuine issue with the valley, then this makes it worse.

 

I'm not a roofer so someone else may add more.

But I would want that removed asap. By a roofer who would try to save the tiles and then deal with what is exposed.
