Leadwork Specialists in Leeds | Expert Lead Roofing & Repairs by Tyler’s Roofing Services
Ever looked up at your chimney after a heavy West Yorkshire downpour and wondered if it’s actually holding up? In a city like Leeds, where the rain doesn't just fall—it drives—the leadwork on your roof is the only thing standing between a dry living room and a costly damp patch. Lead has been the gold standard for weatherproofing for centuries, and for good reason. When it’s fitted correctly by someone who knows the trade, it can easily last sixty years or more. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we don't just 'patch up' roofs; we provide expert leadwork that protects your home for a lifetime.
Most homeowners we chat with only think about their leadwork when a brown stain appears on the ceiling. By then, water has already found its way through a cracked flashing or a poorly fitted valley. Whether you're living in a classic Victorian terrace in Headingley or a modern build in the city centre, your roof relies on those grey strips of metal to stay watertight. We’re here to make sure they do exactly that, using traditional skills that are becoming harder to find these days.
Why Choose Us?
Stop Leaks with Precision Lead Flashings
Flashings are the critical seals where your roof meets the brickwork of your chimney, dormers, or walls. If these aren't right, gravity does the rest, pulling water into your structural timbers. We see it all the time—cheap DIY 'flashing tape' that peels away after one summer, or lead that’s been fitted so tightly it cracks when the sun hits it.
We do things differently. Following BS 6915 standards, we typically use Code 4 lead for flashings, giving it the right weight to withstand the wind without being too heavy for the structure. Our team are experts in chasing and pointing, where we cut a neat groove into your masonry, tuck the lead in securely, and seal it with specialist mortar that’s compatible with Leeds' local gritstone. It’s about creating a seal that breathes and moves with the temperature, preventing that dreaded capillary action where water gets 'sucked' upwards into your home.

Who We Are
Professional Bossing and Welding for Complex Roofs
Lead is a unique material—it’s incredibly durable but requires a real 'feel' to work with. We specialise in both bossing and welding (also known as lead burning). Bossing is the traditional art of manually shaping a single sheet of lead around corners and awkward shapes using hand tools. It’s perfect for those intricate heritage details often found on older Leeds properties.
For more heavy-duty areas or complex joints, we use lead welding. This isn't just about sticking pieces together; it’s about creating a fused, seamless joint that is just as strong as the sheet itself. This is vital for lead valleys and gutters, where large volumes of water are channelled away from your roof. We usually recommend Code 5 lead or higher for these areas to ensure they can handle the weight of snow and the constant flow of rainwater without thinning out over time.

Heritage Leadwork for Leeds' Historic Buildings
Working on a listed building or a home in a conservation area requires a specific set of hands. You can't just throw modern materials at a heritage roof and hope for the best; it looks wrong and, more importantly, it can damage the building. We take huge pride in our heritage work across West Yorkshire, ensuring every piece of lead is sympathetic to the original architecture.
One detail we never skip is the application of patination oil. Have you ever seen a new roof with ugly white streaks running down the tiles? That’s carbonate staining caused by untreated lead. We apply patination oil to every job we finish. It gives the lead that beautiful, uniform silky-grey look from day one and protects it from the elements while it settles. It’s the difference between a 'job done' and a job done right.
