Professional Leadwork Specialists in Bradford
Have you ever looked up at those beautiful Victorian terraces or stone cottages in Bradford and noticed the grey metalwork around the chimneys and roof valleys? That's lead, and it's the unsung hero keeping our homes dry. Here in West Yorkshire, where the driving rain can be relentless, your leadwork acts as the final, critical seal between your roof and the elements. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we don't just 'fit' lead; we craft it. Whether you're in the heart of Bradford or out in the surrounding valleys, we bring decades of experience to every job, ensuring your home stays watertight for a generation. It’s about more than just a quick fix – it’s about using traditional skills to protect your biggest investment.
Why Choose Us?
Protect Your Home With The Gold Standard Of Weatherproofing
Why do we still use lead in an age of modern plastics and rubbers? Simply put, nothing beats it for longevity or flexibility. When fitted correctly by a specialist, lead can easily last over 60 years. Most homeowners we speak to are tired of 'patch-up' repairs using sticky tapes or silicones that fail after a single winter. Professional leadwork is a once-in-a-generation investment. It handles the expansion and contraction of the Yorkshire seasons without cracking, and it looks beautiful against our local gritstone. Imagine the peace of mind you'll have knowing that the most vulnerable parts of your roof are sealed with the most durable material available. Isn't that better than worrying every time a storm rolls over the Pennines?

Who We Are
Qualified Craftsmanship That Meets National Standards
Roofing isn't just about hammering nails; it’s a technical discipline. We take our craft seriously, which is why all our leadwork follows the strict BS 6915 standards and LSTA (Lead Sheet Training Academy) guidelines. You might hear us talking about 'Lead Codes'—this refers to the thickness and weight of the sheet. For example, we typically use Code 4 for simple flashings but move up to Code 5 or higher for valleys and flat roofs to ensure they can handle the water volume. By sticking to these professional standards, we ensure that your lead doesn't 'fatigue' or crack prematurely. We aren't just handymen with a roll of lead; we’re specialists who understand the science of keeping water out.

Secure Your Chimneys With Precision Flashings
The area where your chimney meets your roof tiles is a prime candidate for leaks. We specialise in installing step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings that create a seamless, waterproof barrier. If you've noticed damp patches on the ceiling near your chimney breast, it’s often because the old lead has perished or wasn't 'chased' into the masonry correctly. We cut a precise groove into the stone or brickwork, tuck the lead in securely, and then point it with specialist gritstone-compatible mortar or high-grade lead sealant. This prevents 'capillary action'—that annoying phenomenon where water actually gets sucked upwards into your roof space. It's all about the details that you can't see from the ground, but you'll certainly feel the benefit of during a wet Bradford winter.

01484 627842Expertly Fabricated Lead Valleys And Gutters
Valleys are the channels where two roof pitches meet, and they have to carry a massive amount of water during a downpour. If these are blocked or fitted with thin, inferior materials, you're asking for trouble. We use traditional bossing techniques to manually shape the lead around corners and joints, or lead welding (sometimes called lead burning) to join sheets together with heat. This creates a bespoke, continuous lining that fits the unique contours of your roof perfectly. We often see DIY attempts where lead has been forced into shapes it doesn't want to go, leading to thin spots and eventual leaks. Our approach ensures the metal is never over-stressed, maintaining its full thickness and protective power across the entire valley.
