Leadwork Specialists in Middleton Operating Across Rochdale
Expert Leadwork Specialists in Middleton
Have you ever wondered why some of those sturdy Victorian terraces in Middleton or the old stone houses up towards Rochdale still look so good after a century of Pennine rain? A lot of it comes down to the leadwork. It’s the unsung hero of your roof, acting as the critical seal that keeps the North West weather exactly where it belongs - outside. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of lead fabrication, ensuring your home stays bone-dry even when the clouds open up. Whether you've noticed a suspicious damp patch on your ceiling or you're looking to restore a heritage property to its former glory, we're here to help with honest, local advice.
Why Choose Us?
Choosing the Right Lead Weight for Longevity
Not all lead is created equal, and using the wrong 'code' is a mistake we see far too often. You wouldn't wear a summer jacket in a Middleton snowstorm, right? The same logic applies to your roof. We work strictly to BS 6915 standards, meaning we use the correct thickness for the job. For simple flashings, we usually opt for Code 4, but when we’re lining a deep valley or a flat roof area, we move up to Code 5 or 6 to handle the extra thermal movement. This prevents the lead from cracking as it expands and contracts in the sun, turning a 'quick fix' into a sixty-year investment that genuinely outlasts modern alternatives.

Who We Are
Stop Leaks with Precision Lead Flashings
Imagine the spot where your chimney meets your roof tiles – that’s a prime target for water ingress. If your flashing is lifting or has been patched up with messy 'flash-band' tape, you’re on borrowed time. We specialise in step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings that are properly 'chased' into your masonry. We don’t just tuck it in and hope for the best; we secure it with specialist gritstone-compatible mortar. Why does this matter? It stops 'capillary action', which is a fancy way of saying water being sucked upwards into your roof timbers. It’s the difference between a roof that works and one that slowly rots from the inside out.

Traditional Bossing and Welding Skills
Lead is a beautiful, tactile material, but it requires a real pair of hands to get it right. Our team uses two main methods: bossing and welding. Bossing involves manually shaping the lead around corners and awkward shapes using traditional wooden tools. It’s a skill passed down through generations. For more complex joints, we use lead welding (often called lead burning), which creates a seamless, watertight bond that’s incredibly strong. We’re LSTA trained, so you can trust that every valley, gutter, and decorative feature we install is technically sound and looks the part too.

01484 627842Protecting Your Heritage and Local Character
Middleton and the wider Rochdale area are full of characterful buildings that deserve more than just a standard 'off-the-shelf' repair. When we’re working on heritage properties, we take extra care to ensure our leadwork is sympathetic to the original architecture. We always apply patination oil to every new installation. Have you ever seen new lead with ugly white streaks running down the tiles? That’s carbonate staining, and it happens when the lead isn't treated. Our oil finish prevents this, giving the lead a professional, uniform grey look that perfectly complements our local Pennine stone. It’s about doing the job right, with a bit of pride in the finish.
