Roof Lead Valley replacement

girlsmum

One of the lead valleys on my roof is split so i have a damp patch in my bedroom.

Its only one side that has gone, i did ask the roofer to check the other side (its each side of a 2nd floor bay) he said it looks ok, i did ask if i should do both due to them being the same age, he said its my choice (which it is) i am not sure if its worth it or not as its not leaking at the moment.

i have been quoted about £1100 for the one side and £1700 for both,  (had another quote for £1250 for one side so looks about average) 


Not sure how old they are the house was built around the 1930's no idea if they are original or not 

what would you suggest, i am tempted to do both sides but am i wasting money for something that does not need fixing now?

Would make sense to do both at the same time - It avoids having to pay for scaffolding next time round.

Is there any other work at height that needs doing ?
