Expert Leadwork Specialists in Denton | Protecting Your Property for Decades
When you look up at the rooftops around Denton and Tameside, you'll see plenty of red brick and slate, but it’s the leadwork that’s doing the heavy lifting. Think of lead as the critical seal that keeps your home dry when the North West weather decides to do its worst. Whether you're living in a classic Victorian terrace near Denton Island or a more modern property over in Haughton Green, high-quality leadwork is what stands between you and a very expensive damp patch. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we don't just 'patch things up' with mastic or tape; we use traditional skills to ensure your roof stays watertight for the next sixty years or more.

Why Lead is Still the Gold Standard for Your Denton Home
Have you ever wondered why lead has been used on roofs for centuries? It’s because nothing else can quite match its flexibility and longevity. While modern plastics and 'stick-on' flashings might look okay for a year or two, they eventually crack under the sun or peel away in the wind. Professional leadwork, however, is a 'once-in-a-generation' investment. We follow the strict BS 6915 standards and LSTA guidelines to make sure every piece we install is the correct weight and thickness. We primarily use Code 4 for standard flashings and move up to Code 5 or 6 for deeper valleys and gutters where water flow is much heavier. It’s all about using the right tool for the job to give you total peace of mind.

Who We Are
Precision Lead Flashings and Watertight Seals
Flashings are those essential strips of lead found where your roof meets a wall or a chimney. If these aren't fitted perfectly, you’ll soon know about it. We see many DIY 'repairs' where lead hasn't been properly chased and pointed into the masonry. This leads to capillary action, where water is actually sucked upwards and behind the lead, causing hidden rot in your roof timbers. Our team specializes in step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings, ensuring they are securely tucked into the stone or brickwork and sealed with specialist gritstone-compatible mortar. It’s a technical job that requires a steady hand, but it’s the only way to guarantee a dry home during a Tameside downpour.

Traditional Bossing and Expert Lead Welding
There are two main ways we shape lead to fit your roof: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional art of manually hammering and stretching the lead into shape—perfect for intricate corners and decorative features. However, for more complex joins, we use lead welding (sometimes called lead burning). This creates a seamless, incredibly strong bond that is much more reliable than trying to force a single sheet into a shape it doesn't want to go. Whether we're fabricating bespoke chimney soakers or lining a complex internal gutter, we use these time-honoured techniques to ensure every corner is a solid, impenetrable barrier against the elements.

01484 627842The Importance of Patination Oil and Professional Finishes
Have you ever noticed white, chalky streaks running down a roof or brickwork? That’s usually the result of new lead oxidizing in the rain. At Tyler’s, we never skip the final, crucial step: applying patination oil. This specialist coating protects the lead while it settles, preventing that unsightly white carbonate staining and ensuring the metal develops that beautiful, uniform blue-grey finish that looks so right against Denton’s local architecture. It’s this attention to detail that separates a professional roofing job from a rushed one. We want your roof to look as good as it performs.
