Roofing panels, can get them in tile of slate effect. Cheap and quick.
Are you single bay, or is it multi bay with internal gutters ? if its single bay, just roof over and attach new gutters to the outside, multi bay is a little more difficult, as the valley gutters are a complete pain in the rear end, they settle over the years, the mastic breaks between sections and water runs down the stanchions. I'd want to get a continuous gutter installed along the valley at the same time. Assume you must have asbestos cement gutters on the outside for them to crumble, we have aluminium which I assume is a retrofit. The Atcost concrete was good stuff.

I would think the plygene would be easier than fibreglass. I've fibreglassed the joints on mine but its only ok

Have done a shed with had sharman (?) plastic liner. Good fit but remember you have to lift the sheet to tuck it under and if it’s not a valley you have to drill and fix the outer edge to the concrete gutter. We did one a bit quick and tucked it under the sheet and then threw some chestnut poles on the liner to hold it in the gutter. They’re still there 4 years later!

Solved our problem
Brilliant stuff, and really helpful folks who will give you guidance on any peculiarities of the job in hand.
We sorted a gutter last year on an atcost, due to being a valley gutter and the room we had to work with, it was going to be nigh on impossible to fit a plygene liner and a aluminium liner seemed expensive, so we just made a template and got a galvanised gutter made, in 30ft lengths I think it was, cut the end off the concrete gutter and slid it in, joining with coach bolts which helped it slide, had to give it a bit shove with the handler tho!
Works well, cost very little.

I think that sharmans will supply plygene cut to any size and scored as required. I used some to make a shroud over a pair of sliding doors.
Cheers, thank you. Need a few knocking up so will ask if they deliver to teh South ;-)
