Leadwork Specialists in Dewsbury Operating Across Kirklees
Protect your Dewsbury home with expert leadwork
If you’ve ever walked around Dewsbury town centre or through the Victorian terraces of Savile Town, you’ll notice how much our local architecture relies on lead. It’s that subtle, grey metal that keeps the rain out where your roof meets the chimney or a wall. But here’s the thing – while lead can last over 60 years, it only works if it’s fitted by someone who actually knows their Code 4 from their Code 5. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of leadwork across Kirklees, ensuring your home stays bone-dry even when the Pennine weather is doing its worst.
Why Choose Us?
Stop leaks for good with professional lead flashings
Ever spotted a damp patch on your bedroom ceiling near the chimney breast? Nine times out of ten, it’s a failing lead flashing. Over time, old lead can crack or pull away from the masonry, and that’s when the trouble starts. We specialise in step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings that create a watertight seal between your roof and the brickwork. We don't just "patch things up" with bitumen tape; we do it properly. We use the right weight of lead – usually Code 4 for flashings – and make sure it’s chased into the stone or brick and pointed with specialist gritstone-compatible mortar. It’s about doing the job once and doing it right, isn't it?

Who We Are
Traditional bossing and lead welding expertise
Lead is a bit of a strange beast; it needs to be handled with real skill to perform its job. We use two main methods: bossing and lead welding (sometimes called lead burning). Bossing is the traditional way of manually shaping the lead around corners using special tools, while welding involves using heat to join sheets together for a seamless finish. Why does this matter to you? Well, a poorly fitted piece of lead can actually "suck" water upwards through capillary action, leading to hidden rot in your roof timbers. By using the correct LSTA-approved techniques, we make sure every lead valley and gutter we install is perfectly tailored to your roof's unique shape.

Choosing the right lead for the job
You might hear roofers talking about "Codes," but what does that actually mean? It’s all about the thickness and weight of the metal. Using a thin Code 3 where you really need a heavy-duty Code 5 for a valley is a recipe for disaster; it’ll buckle and split under the summer sun or the weight of winter snow. We follow BS 6915 standards strictly, ensuring the lead we use is thick enough for the task but has enough room to "breathe" (expand and contract) as the temperature changes. We also apply patination oil to every job. This stops that annoying white carbonate staining you often see on new lead, keeping it looking a smart, uniform grey that complements our local West Yorkshire stone perfectly.
