Expert Leadwork Protects Your Manchester Home
Living in Manchester, you don't need us to tell you about the rain. Between the driving Pennine winds and the steady North West drizzle, your roof takes a proper hammering. While tiles and slates do the heavy lifting, it's the leadwork that acts as the critical seal in the corners, valleys, and around your chimney. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we see lead as more than just a building material; it's the gold standard of weatherproofing. When it's fitted correctly by a specialist, it can easily last sixty years or more. Have you ever noticed a damp patch on an upstairs ceiling and wondered how the water is getting in even though the tiles look fine? More often than not, it's a failed lead flashing or a poorly fitted valley that's the culprit.
Why Choose Us?
Choose Quality Over Quick Fixes
We’ve seen it all too often across Manchester: cheap 'flashband' tape or messy silicone used to patch up a leaking chimney. These might hold for a month or two, but they aren't a real solution. Real leadwork is a craft that requires patience and the right tools. We follow BS 6915 standards and LSTA guidelines to the letter because we want your roof to stay watertight for a generation, not just until the next storm. Whether you're in a Victorian terrace in South Manchester or a modern detached home in the suburbs, we treat every piece of lead with the same level of care. We don't just 'slap it on'—we shape it, secure it, and seal it so it moves naturally with your house as the temperatures change.

Who We Are
Professional Bossing and Lead Welding
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 specialist wooden tools. It’s perfect for creating those seamless, flowing corners on older properties. On the other hand, lead welding (or lead burning) uses high heat to join sheets together, which is often essential for complex flat roofs or large gutters. Our Manchester leadwork specialists are skilled in both. We’ll always use the right thickness for the job too—what we call 'Lead Codes'. For example, we typically use Code 4 for window flashings, but for a heavy-duty valley or a flat roof, we’ll step up to Code 5, 6, or even higher to ensure it doesn't crack under the pressure of the elements.

Chimney Flashings and Watertight Seals
Your chimney is one of the most vulnerable spots on your roof. Because it's a vertical structure breaking through a sloped surface, water naturally wants to pool there. We install step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings to create a multi-layered barrier that directs water away from the masonry. One thing many general builders miss is the 'capillary action'—that's when water actually gets sucked upwards behind poorly fitted lead. We prevent this by creating proper drips and folds in the metal. We also take care of the 'chasing and pointing', which means we cut a clean groove into your brickwork or stone, tuck the lead in securely, and seal it with a specialist gritstone-compatible mortar that won't crack like standard cement.

01484 627842Better Finish With Patination Oil
Have you ever seen new leadwork that develops ugly white streaks after the first rain? That’s carbonate staining, and it’s not just an eyesore—it can actually damage your tiles or masonry as it washes down. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we never skip the final step. We apply patination oil to every bit of lead we install. This gives the metal a professional, uniform grey finish and protects it from oxidation while it settles. It’s these small details that separate a 'roofer' from a true Manchester leadwork specialist. It ensures your home looks its best and that the lead is protected from day one.
