Leadwork Specialists in New Mills Operating Across Derbyshire
Expert Leadwork Specialists in New Mills | Tyler’s Roofing Services | Derbyshire
Living in New Mills, we're all used to the unique charm of the High Peak—and the unpredictable Pennine weather that comes with it. Whether you're in a Victorian terrace or a converted stone barn, your roof's leadwork is often the only thing standing between a dry home and a nasty damp patch. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we’ve spent decades perfecting the art of lead fabrication. We don’t just 'patch things up'; we provide long-term weatherproofing that respects the heritage of Derbyshire architecture. Lead is often called the 'gold standard' of roofing for a reason, and when it’s installed correctly by a specialist, it can easily last sixty years or more. Have you ever noticed white streaks running down your roof or a damp spot near the chimney after a heavy downpour? These are often signs that your old lead has reached the end of its life or was poorly fitted to begin with.
Why Choose Us?
Protecting Your Home from Driving High Peak Rain
Why is lead so critical for homes in New Mills and the surrounding Derbyshire hills? It’s all down to flexibility and durability. Unlike modern 'stick-on' flashings that crack under the summer sun or peel away in the winter frost, genuine lead sheet expands and contracts naturally. We follow strict BS 6915 standards to ensure every piece we fit is up to the job. Imagine the pressure a lead valley takes during a sudden High Peak thunderstorm—it needs to channel hundreds of litres of water away from your rafters without a single drop escaping. We make sure that happens by using the right thickness, known as 'Lead Codes'. For simple flashings, we might use Code 4, but for deeper valleys or flat roof sections, we’ll move up to Code 5 or 6 to ensure the metal can handle the weight and weather for decades to come.

Who We Are
Mastering the Craft of Bossing and Welding
Leadwork isn't just about laying metal down; it’s about shaping it to fit the unique nooks and crannies of your masonry. We specialise in two main techniques: bossing and lead welding (sometimes called lead burning). Bossing involves manually 'working' the lead with specialist tools to stretch it around corners or into decorative shapes—a skill that’s vital for heritage roofing and listed buildings in conservation areas. On the other hand, lead welding allows us to join sheets together with heat, creating a seamless, watertight bond that’s incredibly strong. We’ve seen plenty of DIY 'repairs' using mastic or tape that fail within months. By contrast, our professional lead welding provides a permanent seal that stops 'capillary action'—that annoying physical process where water actually gets sucked upwards into your roof joints.

Specialist Chimney Flashing and Lead Valleys
Your chimney is one of the most vulnerable spots on your roof. It’s a massive stone or brick stack punching through your tiles, and the joint where they meet is a prime target for leaks. We install custom-fitted step flashings, apron flashings, and soakers that tuck neatly into the mortar joints of your chimney. We're also experts in lead valley gutters—those V-shaped channels where two roof pitches meet. If these are blocked or the lead has split, you’ll know about it pretty quickly. Most homeowners we speak to are worried about the cost of a full roof replacement, but often, a expert leadwork overhaul is all that’s needed to keep the structure sound for another generation. We also apply patination oil to all our new leadwork. This prevents that messy white carbonate staining you see on amateur jobs and leaves your roof with a professional, uniform grey finish that looks fantastic against Derbyshire gritstone.
