Specialist Leadwork in Featherstone
Ever noticed how some of the older terraces in Featherstone and the grander houses around Wakefield still have roofs that look incredible after a hundred years? More often than not, it's the leadwork doing the heavy lifting. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we see lead as the 'critical seal' of your home. It’s that vital bit of kit that keeps the West Yorkshire rain from finding its way into your rafters. Whether you’re living in a classic stone cottage or a modern semi, having leadwork that's been fitted by a specialist isn't just about looks—it’s about making sure your home stays bone-dry for decades to come. We don't just 'patch things up'; we use traditional skills passed down through generations to ensure every joint and flashing is watertight.
Why Choose Us?
The Gold Standard of Weatherproofing
You might wonder why we still use lead when there are so many modern plastics and 'flashbands' on the market. To be honest, nothing else really compares. While a cheap repair might last a couple of winters, professionally installed leadwork easily has a 60-year lifespan—and often much longer. We follow the strict BS 6915 standards and LSTA (Lead Sheet Training Academy) guidelines, which means every piece we fit is designed to expand and contract with the changing Featherstone weather. From the biting frost to the summer sun, our leadwork won't crack or peel. Have you checked your roof lately? If you've seen a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling, it’s often a sign that the old lead around a chimney or valley has finally given up the ghost.

Who We Are
Expert Lead Welding and Bossing
There are two main ways we shape lead to fit your roof: bossing and welding (also known as lead burning). Bossing is a real craft—it involves manually beating the lead into shape using specialized tools without thinning it out too much. For more complex shapes or where we need a rock-solid joint, we use lead welding. This isn't your average DIY job; it requires a steady hand and a lot of experience to get a seam that's as strong as the sheet itself. We take great pride in our 'beaded' welds, ensuring they don't just work perfectly but look neat and professional too. If you’re looking for a roofer in Featherstone who knows their way around a blowtorch and a bossing mallet, you’ve come to the right place.

01484 627842Lead Flashings, Valleys and Chimneys
The most common places you'll find lead on a roof are where two surfaces meet. We specialise in installing step flashings where your roof hits a brick wall, and apron flashings at the base of chimneys. If these aren't fitted correctly, water can be 'sucked' upwards by something called capillary action—causing rot you won't even see until it's too late. We also handle full lead valleys, which are the channels that carry huge amounts of water during a typical Wakefield downpour. We ensure these are deep enough and wide enough to cope with whatever the Pennine clouds throw at us. We also make sure the lead is properly 'chased' into the masonry and pointed with gritstone-compatible mortar to keep everything secure.

01484 627842Why Patination Oil is a Must
Ever seen a new lead roof that’s covered in ugly white streaks? That’s carbonate staining, and it happens when raw lead is exposed to rain. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we never skip the final, crucial step: applying patination oil. It’s a specialized coating that gives the lead that beautiful, uniform grey finish we all love, and it protects the metal while it builds up its own natural protective layer. It’s these small details that separate a 'quick job' from a professional installation. We want your home in Featherstone to look its best, and that means making sure the leadwork complements the local stone and brickwork perfectly.
