Leadwork Specialists in Ashton-Under-Lyne Operating Across Tameside
Protect your Ashton home from the Tameside rain
Have you ever looked up at your roof and wondered what those grey strips of metal around your chimney or in the corners of your roof actually do? That’s leadwork, and it’s essentially the unsung hero of your home's defence against the elements. Living around Ashton-Under-Lyne and the wider Tameside area, we all know that the Pennine weather doesn't pull any punches. When the driving rain hits, it’s the leadwork that forms the critical seal between your tiles and the brickwork. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we've spent decades perfecting the art of lead fabrication, ensuring that whether you've got a Victorian terrace or a modern detached house, your home stays bone dry inside, no matter what the clouds throw at us.
Why Choose Us?
Expert leadwork built to last a lifetime
A lot of people don't realise that while a tile might last forty years, professionally installed lead can easily protect a building for over a century. It’s a bit of an investment, but it’s a 'once-in-a-generation' one. We don't believe in quick fixes or sticky tape repairs that peel off after a single winter. Instead, we follow the strict BS 6915 standards and LSTA guidelines to the letter. This means using the right 'Codes'—which is just a roofer’s way of talking about thickness. We’ll use Code 4 for your standard flashings, but if we’re lining a deep valley where water really builds up, we’ll step it up to Code 5 or higher. It’s this attention to detail that stops 'capillary action'—that annoying physical process where water actually gets sucked upwards into your roof timbers because the lead wasn't fitted with the right overlaps.

Who We Are
Stop chimney leaks before they cause rot
Most of the homeowners we speak to in Ashton only realise they have a lead problem when a damp patch starts blooming on the bedroom ceiling. Often, the culprit is the flashing around the chimney. If your mortar is cracking or the lead has 'fatigued' and split over time, water will find its way in. We specialise in both lead bossing—where we hand-shape the metal around the corners of your stack—and lead welding (or lead burning) for those more complex joins. We don’t just tuck the lead in and hope for the best; we chase it deep into the stone or brickwork and point it with specialist, flexible gritstone-compatible mortar. This allows the lead to expand and contract as the temperature changes without cracking the seal.

Local Ashton-Under-Lyne Experts Operating Across All Of Tameside
Lead valleys and gutters that actually flow
The valleys—those 'V' shaped channels where two parts of your roof meet—are under the most pressure during a Tameside downpour. If these are poorly installed or blocked with debris, you're looking at a major leak. We see a lot of DIY attempts using felt or plastic in these areas, but nothing beats the durability of lead. When we install a lead valley, we ensure the boards underneath are perfectly prepped so the lead has a solid foundation. We also apply patination oil to every single piece of lead we fit. Have you ever seen a house with ugly white streaks running down the bricks from the roof? That’s carbonate staining from untreated lead. Our use of patination oil prevents that, giving you a clean, professional grey finish that looks fantastic against local Tameside stone.
