Expert Leadwork Specialists in Dukinfield
Have you ever noticed how the older stone houses around Dukinfield and Tameside seem to shrug off the worst of the Pennine rain? A huge part of that secret is high-quality leadwork. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we see lead as the critical seal that keeps your home dry when the weather turns nasty. Whether you're living in a classic Victorian terrace or a more modern property, your roof relies on lead to bridge the gaps where tiles meet brickwork. We've spent years honing our craft in lead fabrication, ensuring that every joint and flashing we install isn't just watertight, but built to last for generations. It's about combining traditional skills with the reliability you need for your family home.
Why Choose Us?
Leading Weatherproofing Standards for Tameside Homes
You might wonder why we still use a material like lead in an age of plastics and sealants. The truth is, nothing else quite matches its durability or flexibility. We don't just 'patch things up' with some DIY-store flashing; we follow strict BS 6915 standards and LSTA guidelines on every single job. This means you’re getting a professional-grade installation that can handle the expansion and contraction caused by our unpredictable British seasons. From Code 4 lead for your flashings to heavier Code 5 or 6 for deep valleys, we always select the correct weight for the task at hand. It's this attention to detail that prevents the common 'capillary action' where water gets sucked upwards into your roof timbers, causing rot before you even know there's a leak.

Who We Are
Precision Lead Flashing and Chimney Repairs
Think about the areas of your roof where the chimney stack pokes through or where a kitchen extension meets the main house wall. These are the most vulnerable spots for water ingress. We specialise in custom-fitted step flashings, apron flashings, and chimney soakers that create a seamless, watertight bond. If you’ve spotted a damp patch on your upstairs ceiling near the chimney, it’s often a sign that your old lead has cracked or the pointing has failed. We don't just replace the lead; we ensure it's properly 'chased' into the masonry and pointed with specialist gritstone-compatible mortar. This ensures the seal stays tight and looks fantastic against the local Tameside stone or brickwork.

Traditional Lead Bossing and Welding Techniques
Leadwork is as much an art as it is a trade. We use two main methods to shape your roof’s protection: bossing and welding. Bossing involves carefully mallet-shaping a single sheet of lead to fit complex corners or decorative features without thinning the metal. For more intricate joints, we use lead welding (often called lead burning), which creates a fused, permanent bond that is far superior to any glue or solder. Most homeowners we speak to are surprised at the level of technical skill involved, but it’s these methods that allow us to tackle the tricky corners of a bay window or the deep channels of a lead valley. When it's done right, you shouldn't have to think about it again for another 60 years.

01484 627842Durable Lead Valleys and Roof Gutters
Lead valleys are the unsung heroes of a pitched roof, funneling massive amounts of rainwater away from your home. Because they sit in the 'V' where two roof slopes meet, they take a real battering during a Tameside downpour. If a valley is fitted poorly or uses lead that's too thin, it will eventually buckle or split. We install robust lead valleys using heavier codes of lead to ensure they can handle the volume of water and the weight of snow. We also take the time to install them in the correct lengths with proper 'steps' or laps, allowing the metal to breathe and move naturally without tearing. It's the difference between a quick fix and a long-term investment in your property’s structural health.
