Leadwork Specialists in Liversedge Operating Across Kirklees
Keep your Liversedge home dry with proper leadwork
Have you ever noticed a damp patch on the ceiling near your chimney or where your roof meets the wall? In a place like Liversedge, where the Pennine rain doesn't half-know how to pour, those little leaks are usually down to tired or poorly fitted leadwork. Lead is essentially the 'seal' of your house, tucked into the gaps where tiles and masonry meet to keep the water out. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we don't just 'patch things up' with a bit of sealant and hope for the best. We’re specialists in traditional leadcraft, ensuring your home stays watertight for decades, not just until the next big storm hits Kirklees.
Why Choose Us?
Using the right lead code for the right job
One thing most homeowners don't realise is that not all lead is the same. It comes in different thicknesses, known as 'codes'. We often see DIY jobs or rushed repairs where Code 3 (the thinnest stuff) has been used for a valley, only for it to buckle and split within a year. We follow strict BS 6915 standards, typically using Code 4 for your step flashings and at least Code 5 or 6 for deeper valleys and gutters. It’s a bit like choosing the right coat for a Yorkshire winter – you want something that’s actually going to do the job. By using the correct weight, we make sure the lead can expand and contract with the temperature without cracking.

Who We Are
Precision lead welding and bossing for heritage properties
Whether you live in one of Liversedge's beautiful Victorian terraces or a more modern detached home, the way lead is shaped matters. We use two main methods: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional art of manually hammering and stretching the lead into shape – perfect for those tricky corners on a stone cottage. For more complex joins, we use lead welding (or 'lead burning'). This creates a seamless, fused joint that’s much stronger than any solder. Because we're City & Guilds qualified in lead fabrication, we can handle the technical stuff that general builders often shy away from, especially on heritage or listed buildings where the finish needs to be spot-on.

Local Liversedge Experts Operating Across All Of Kirklees
Fixing leaky chimneys and worn-out roof valleys
The chimney is usually the first place lead starts to fail. If the 'flashing' – that’s the lead strip tucked into the brickwork – pulls away or the mortar cracks, water will find its way in. We specialise in chasing the lead deep into the masonry and pointing it with specialist, flexible gritstone-compatible mortar. We also see a lot of issues with 'capillary action' in Kirklees, where water gets sucked upwards under poorly fitted lead. By installing proper soakers and apron flashings, we break that cycle and keep the timber underneath bone dry. It’s about doing the job once and doing it right.

01484 627842Why the finishing touches make all the difference
Have you ever seen a new roof with ugly white streaks running down the tiles? That’s lead carbonate, and it happens when new lead isn't treated properly. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we always apply patination oil as the final step. It gives the lead that classic, uniform grey look and, more importantly, protects it from the elements while it develops its own natural protective layer. It’s a small step that many contractors skip to save time, but for us, it’s the difference between a 'fair-to-middling' job and a professional finish that adds real value to your property.
