Expert Leadwork in Bacup | Protecting Rossendale Homes
<p>If you live around Bacup or the wider Rossendale area, you'll know that the Pennine weather doesn't mess about. Between the driving horizontal rain and the biting winds, your roof takes a proper hammering. That's where high-quality leadwork comes in. Think of lead as the 'critical seal' of your home; it’s the tough, flexible barrier that stops water from sneaking into the gaps where your roof meets the chimney or the walls. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of lead fabrication, ensuring that local homes stay bone-dry even in the worst Lancashire storms.</p><p>Have you ever noticed a damp patch on an upstairs ceiling and wondered where it’s coming from? More often than not, it’s a failed lead flashing or a poorly fitted valley. While some contractors might suggest a quick 'patch-up' with sticky tapes or sealants, these are only ever temporary fixes. We do things properly, using traditional skills that have been trusted for centuries to give you a roof that lasts for decades, not just seasons.</p>
Why Choose Us?
Right Lead for the Right Job
<p>Not all lead is created equal, and using the wrong weight for a specific job is a mistake we see far too often. We work strictly to BS 6915 standards and LSTA guidelines, which means we select the specific 'Code' of lead required for your project. For example, we usually use Code 4 for simple flashings, but for something like a lead valley or a larger flat roof area, we'll step up to Code 5 or higher to handle the thermal expansion and weight. It's this attention to detail that separates a 'roofer' from a true leadwork specialist.</p><p>Why does this matter to you? Well, lead expands and contracts as the temperature changes. If it's too thin or fitted too tightly, it'll eventually crack. By following industry-standard thickness codes, we ensure your leadwork remains watertight for 60 years or more. It’s a once-in-a-generation investment that genuinely protects the structural integrity of your property.</p>

Who We Are
Precision Bossing and Lead Welding
<p>When it comes to shaping lead around tricky corners or chimney stacks, there are two main ways we handle it: bossing and welding. Bossing is a traditional craft where we manually beat the lead into shape using specialist tools, which is perfect for seamless corners on older stone cottages. For more complex joints, we use lead welding (often called lead burning). This creates a permanent, fused join that is much stronger and more reliable than any 'fold-and-hope' method.</p><p>Most homeowners we speak to are surprised at how much technical skill goes into a simple-looking chimney flashing. We make sure every piece is expertly 'chased' into the masonry and pointed with a specialist mortar that’s compatible with Rossendale stone. This prevents 'capillary action'—that annoying physical process where water actually gets sucked upwards into your roof space because of a poorly designed seal.</p>

Lead Flashing and Chimney Repairs
<p>Chimneys are one of the most common spots for leaks to start. Because they sit right in the firing line of the wind, the lead flashings at the base can eventually pull away or wear thin. We specialise in installing step flashings, apron flashings, and hidden soakers that work together to channel every drop of rain away from your chimney stack and safely down the roof.</p><p>Is your chimney looking a bit tired? Often, it’s not the bricks that are the problem, but the leadwork around them. We can carry out a full leadwork inspection and replace failing sections with precision-cut pieces that look as good as they perform. It’s all about peace of mind—knowing that when the next big storm rolls over the hills, your attic is going to stay dry.</p>

01484 627842Patination Oil for a Perfect Finish
<p>Ever seen a new roof with ugly white streaks running down the tiles or the stone walls? That's caused by carbonate staining when new lead gets wet. To prevent this, we always apply patination oil to every bit of lead we install. It’s a small step that many of our competitors skip, but it makes a massive difference. Not only does it stop those messy white stains, but it also gives the lead that classic, uniform grey finish that looks so brilliant against the local Lancashire gritstone.</p><p>It’s these little 'extras' that define our service. We aren't just looking to get the job done quickly; we want your home to look its best and for our work to stand as a testament to our craftsmanship for years to come.</p>
