Leadwork Specialists in Marple Operating Across Stockport
Expert Leadwork Specialists in Marple and Stockport
Have you ever taken a proper look at the lead on your roof? Most folks in Marple don't give it a second thought until a damp patch starts creeping across the bedroom ceiling. Whether you're living in a traditional stone cottage near Marple Bridge or a Victorian terrace in Stockport, that grey metal is the only thing standing between your home and the relentless Cheshire rain. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we treat leadwork as an art form. It isn’t just about slapping some metal down; it’s about creating a watertight seal that will outlast most of us. We’ve seen plenty of 'quick fixes' using sticky tape or cheap sealants, but they never last. If you want a job that’s done once and done right, you’ve come to the right place.
Why Choose Us?
Proper leadwork lasts a lifetime
Why do we still use lead in the age of modern plastics? Simply put, nothing else compares. When it's installed correctly by a specialist, lead can easily last over 60 years. It’s incredibly flexible, meaning it handles the 'thermal movement' of your house—expanding in the summer sun and shrinking in the frost—without cracking. Most homeowners we speak to are surprised to learn that lead comes in different thicknesses, known as 'Codes'. We strictly follow BS 6915 standards, ensuring we use the right weight for the job. For example, we typically use Code 4 for your standard flashings, but if we’re lining a valley gutter where water pools, we’ll step up to Code 5 or higher to ensure it never fails you.

Who We Are
Specialist skills for chimney and valley repairs
Is your chimney looking a bit weathered? The lead flashing around a chimney stack is a notorious weak point. If the 'stepping' into the brickwork isn't chased in and pointed correctly, water will find its way in. Our team are experts in both 'bossing'—where we manually shape the lead with special tools—and 'lead welding' (or lead burning). Welding allows us to join sheets together with heat, creating a seamless, unbreakable bond that’s perfect for complex shapes or large flat roof areas. We don't just 'fit' lead; we fabricate it to suit the unique quirks of your property, ensuring those tricky corners are completely watertight.

Heritage craftsmanship for Marple's historic homes
Working on older or listed buildings requires a delicate touch and a lot of respect for tradition. We’ve spent years honing our heritage roofing skills, working on everything from church gables to grand manor houses across Stockport. We understand the specific requirements of conservation areas, ensuring any repairs or new installations are sympathetic to the building's history. We don’t cut corners by using modern shortcuts that look out of place. Instead, we use traditional lead fabrication techniques that maintain the character of your home while providing 'gold standard' weatherproofing.

01484 627842The secret to a perfect professional finish
Ever noticed how some new leadwork gets those ugly white streaks after a few weeks of rain? That’s called carbonate staining, and it happens when the lead oxidises. To stop this, we always apply patination oil to every job we finish. It might seem like a small detail, but it’s one that many general builders skip. This oil protects the lead while it settles, giving it that classic, uniform blue-grey look that perfectly complements the local gritstone and slate found throughout Marple and the Pennine fringes. It’s these little extra steps that make a Tyler’s Roofing job stand out from the rest.
