Leadwork Specialists in Heckmondwike Operating Across Kirklees
Heckmondwike's go-to leadwork specialists
If you live in Heckmondwike or around Kirklees, you'll know exactly how tough the Pennine weather can be on our homes. One minute it's sunshine, the next we're facing driving rain and wind that seems to find every little gap in a roof. That's where lead comes in. It has been the gold standard for weatherproofing for centuries, and for good reason. Whether you've got a traditional stone terrace or a more modern property, properly installed leadwork is often the only thing standing between a dry home and a nasty damp patch on your bedroom ceiling. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we don't just 'patch things up' with sticky tape or sealant. We use traditional skills passed down through generations to ensure your roof stays watertight for decades, not just months.
Why Choose Us?
Lead beats modern materials every time
Ever wondered why lead is still used on the finest buildings in Kirklees? It's simply because nothing else lasts as long or flexes as well. While plastic or bitumen alternatives might look okay for a year or two, they eventually crack under the sun or pull away in the frost. Lead is different. When we install lead roofing or flashings to BS 6915 standards, you're looking at a lifespan of over 60 years. It's a once-in-a-generation investment. We work strictly with the correct thickness for the job, usually ranging from Code 3 for light soakers up to Code 7 or 8 for heavy-duty flat roofs. Using the wrong code is a common mistake we see, but getting it right means your roof can 'breathe' and expand without ever leaking.

Who We Are
Precision lead welding and bossing
There are two main ways we shape lead to fit your home: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional art of manually hammering the lead into shape using special wooden tools. It's perfect for creating those beautiful, seamless corners on chimney flashings or dormer windows. However, for more complex shapes or larger joins, we use lead welding (often called lead burning). This creates a bond that's actually stronger than the lead sheet itself. Because our team is City & Guilds qualified in lead fabrication, we can handle the tricky stuff that standard roofers might shy away from. Have you noticed a crack in a lead valley or a split in a gutter? These are exactly the kinds of precision repairs we handle every day across Heckmondwike.

Fixing leaky chimney flashings for good
The chimney is usually the first place a leak starts. Why? Because the join between the masonry and the roof tiles takes the full brunt of the wind. Most homeowners we speak to only realise there's a problem when they see a brown stain appearing on the chimney breast inside. We specialise in installing step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings using Code 4 lead as a minimum. We also pay huge attention to 'capillary action' — that's the annoying way water can actually be sucked upwards into your roof if the lead isn't fitted with the right laps and folds. We finish every job by chasing the lead deep into the stone and pointing it with specialist gritstone-compatible mortar, ensuring it won't budge even in a gale.

01484 627842Tough lead valleys for Kirklees rain
In a place like Heckmondwike, your roof valleys have to work incredibly hard. These are the channels where two roof slopes meet, essentially acting as a motorway for rainwater. If these aren't right, the water has nowhere to go but into your loft. We install high-performance lead valleys using Code 5 lead or higher to handle the volume of water we get in West Yorkshire. A key step many contractors skip is applying patination oil. We never do. This special oil prevents that ugly white carbonate staining from running down your tiles and keeps the lead looking like a professional, uniform grey that perfectly complements our local Kirklees stone. It's these small details that make a Tyler’s roof stand out from the rest.
