Expert Leadwork in Hemsworth | Keeping Your Home Watertight
We all know how the weather can turn in this part of West Yorkshire. One minute the sun is out, and the next, a heavy Pennine downpour is lashing against your roof. When that happens, you need more than just shingles and slates to keep the water out; you need high-quality leadwork. Think of lead as the critical seal that protects the most vulnerable parts of your property. Whether it's the junction where your chimney meets the roof or the deep valleys where two pitches join, lead is the gold standard for weatherproofing. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we've spent years honing our skills in Hemsworth and the wider Wakefield area, ensuring that every piece of lead we fit isn't just functional, but a piece of craftsmanship that lasts for generations.
Why Choose Us?
Getting the Lead Code Right for Every Job
Have you ever wondered why some lead flashings seem to buckle or crack after just a few years? It often comes down to using the wrong 'code'. In the roofing world, the code refers to the thickness and weight of the lead sheet. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. For simple cover flashings, we typically use Code 4, which offers the perfect balance of flexibility and durability. However, for those deeper roof valleys or flat lead dormers that take a real beating from the wind and rain, we'll step up to Code 5, 6, or even higher. By following BS 6915 standards, we make sure the material is heavy enough to resist thermal movement—the technical term for lead expanding and contracting in the sun—without splitting. It’s this attention to detail that saves you from a damp patch appearing on your bedroom ceiling three years down the line.

Who We Are
Traditional Lead Bossing and Precision Welding
Working with lead is a bit like being a tailor for your house. Every roof has its own unique angles and quirks, especially the older stone cottages and Victorian terraces you find around Hemsworth and South Elmsall. We use two main techniques to get that perfect fit: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional art of manually shaping the lead using specialist tools to beat it into form. For more complex joints, we use lead welding—often called lead burning—to fuse sheets together with heat. This creates a seamless, watertight bond that is much stronger than any sealant or 'sticky tape' alternative. Our team is trained to LSTA (Lead Sheet Training Academy) guidelines, so you can rest easy knowing the technical side is handled by people who actually know their craft.

Stop Chimney Leaks with Proper Flashings
Most of the homeowners we speak to in Wakefield only realise they have a lead problem when they see a brown stain spreading across their chimney breast. It's a common story. Chimneys are exposed to the elements from every side, making the lead flashings and soakers the most important line of defence. If these aren't 'chased' correctly into the masonry and pointed with the right gritstone-compatible mortar, water will eventually find a way in. We also keep a sharp eye out for capillary action—that's when water is literally sucked upwards through tiny gaps in poorly fitted lead. By installing bespoke step flashings and apron flashings, we create a barrier that keeps the Yorkshire rain exactly where it belongs: outside.
