Expert Leadwork Specialists in Holmfirth | Protecting Your Property for Decades
Have you ever wondered why some of our beautiful stone cottages in Holmfirth look as good today as they did a hundred years ago? It isn’t just the quality of the local gritstone; it’s the leadwork. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we see lead as the 'critical seal' of your home. It’s the stuff that sits in the gaps where tiles meet chimneys or walls, keeping the driving Pennine rain out of your living room. Whether you’re in a Victorian terrace in Huddersfield or a barn conversion in Meltham, high-quality leadwork is the gold standard for weatherproofing. We don’t just 'patch things up' with sticky tape or sealant that’ll fail after one winter; we use traditional skills to ensure your roof stays watertight for a generation or more.
Why Choose Us?
Using the Right Lead Code for Your Roof
One of the biggest mistakes we see is builders using lead that’s too thin for the job. It’s why you might see lead that’s buckled or cracked under the summer sun. We follow BS 6915 standards strictly, making sure we use the right 'Code'—which is just a fancy way of saying the thickness and weight—for every specific part of your roof. For example, we usually use Code 4 for simple flashings, but if we’re lining a valley or a flat roof section where water sits, we’ll step up to Code 5 or even Code 7. It’s about more than just looking good; it’s about making sure the lead can expand and contract without splitting, giving you that 'once-in-a-generation' peace of mind.

Who We Are
Lead Flashing and Chimney Repairs That Last
Imagine you’ve just noticed a damp patch appearing on the ceiling right next to your chimney breast. More often than not, it’s a failure in the lead flashing. Our team specialises in step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings that create a perfect, watertight transition between your masonry and your roof. We take the time to 'chase' the lead into the stone properly and point it with specialist mortar that’s compatible with Kirklees stone. We also pay close attention to 'capillary action'—that annoying physical process where water gets sucked upwards through tiny gaps. By fitting our leadwork with the correct laps and folds, we stop the Yorkshire weather in its tracks.

Mastering the Craft of Bossing and Lead Welding
Working with lead is a bit of an art form, and it’s one our qualified leadsmiths take very seriously. We use two main methods: bossing and lead welding (sometimes called lead burning). Bossing involves manually shaping the lead sheet using wooden or plastic tools to fit around corners or decorative features—perfect for those quirky heritage buildings in Slaithwaite or Denby Dale. Lead welding, on the other hand, allows us to join sheets together using heat, creating a seamless, incredibly strong bond. Because we’re City & Guilds certified, you can trust that every weld and every fold is done to a professional standard that modern plastic 'lead-look' alternatives simply can't match.

01484 627842Patination Oil: The Secret to a Perfect Finish
Have you ever seen new leadwork that develops ugly white streaks after a few weeks of rain? That’s carbonate staining, and it can actually ruin the look of your local stone. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we never skip the final step: applying patination oil. This simple but vital treatment gives the lead that classic, uniform grey finish and prevents oxidation from washing off onto your tiles or masonry. It’s the difference between a job that looks 'alright' and a job that adds genuine value and kerb appeal to your property.
