Specialist Leadwork and Flashing Repairs in Failsworth
If you've ever looked up at the rooftops while walking through Failsworth, you'll see a mix of classic Victorian terraces and more modern homes. What do they all have in common? They rely on lead to keep the rain out. Lead is essentially the 'critical seal' of your property, tucked into the spots where tiles meet brickwork or where two roof pitches join. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we've spent years perfecting the art of leadwork across the Oldham area. It’s a bit of a dying art, but for us, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing a perfectly bossed piece of lead protecting a chimney stack. Whether you've noticed a damp patch on the ceiling or your lead flashing looks like it’s seen better days, we're here to help get things watertight again.
Why Choose Us?
Right Lead Codes for Lasting Protection
One of the most common mistakes we see when called out for roofing repairs in Oldham is the use of the wrong 'code' of lead. Lead comes in different thicknesses, from Code 3 up to Code 8. Use something too thin for a valley, and it'll buckle or crack under the heat of the sun; use something too thick for a small flashing, and it won't be flexible enough to seal properly. We follow BS 6915 standards to the letter, ensuring we use the right weight for the job. Typically, we'll use Code 4 for your standard step flashings and jump up to Code 5 or higher for those deep lead valleys that handle the brunt of the Pennine rain. It’s this attention to detail that makes a lead roof last sixty years rather than six.

Who We Are
Traditional Bossing and Precision Lead Welding
When it comes to shaping lead around tricky corners or chimney bases, there are two main ways to do it: bossing and welding (often called lead burning). Bossing is the traditional method of manually 'beating' the lead into shape using specialized tools. It requires a real feel for the metal so you don't thin it out too much. Lead welding, on the other hand, involves using a torch to join sheets together, which is often essential for complex heritage roofing projects. Our leadwork specialists in Failsworth are experts in both. We don't believe in using 'lead replacement' sticky tapes or cheap patch-up fixes that peel off after a single winter. We do the job properly, ensuring every joint is a permanent barrier against the elements.

Solving Chimney Leaks and Faulty Flashings
Is your chimney causing you grief? Most chimney leaks aren't actually caused by the bricks themselves, but by the lead flashing where the stack meets the roof. If the lead has pulled away from the wall or the 'pointing' has fallen out, water will find its way in. We specialize in chimney leadwork, from installing new apron flashings to fitting 'soakers' tucked hidden beneath your slates. We also take care of the 'chasing'—that’s the groove we cut into the masonry to secure the lead—and seal it with high-quality, gritstone-compatible mortar. It stops that annoying 'capillary action' where water gets sucked upwards and into your attic timbers.
