Expert Leadwork in Poynton
Have you ever looked up at your roof and wondered what’s actually keeping the rain out where the tiles meet the chimney or the walls? In a place like Poynton, where the Cheshire weather can turn from a light drizzle to a heavy downpour in minutes, that 'critical seal' is usually lead. It is the unsung hero of your home’s defence system. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we’ve spent years mastering the art of leadwork because we know that even the best tiles in the world won’t save your ceiling if the flashing is failing. Whether you live in a classic Victorian terrace near the station or a modern detached home out towards Adlington, high-quality leadwork is what stands between a dry living room and a very expensive damp problem.
Why Choose Us?
Professional Heritage Craftsmanship
Lead isn't just a building material; it's a craft that takes years to get right. We don't just 'patch things up' with sticky tape or sealant that degrades in the sun. Our team follows the strict BS 6915 standards and LSTA guidelines because we believe in doing the job once and doing it properly. We use traditional techniques like bossing—where we manually shape the lead to fit the unique curves of your roof—and lead welding (often called lead burning) to create seamless, watertight joints. For our neighbours in Cheshire East with heritage or listed properties, this level of detail is essential for maintaining the building's character while ensuring it stays bone-dry for the next 60 years or more.

Who We Are
Right Lead for the Right Job
Most homeowners we speak to are surprised to learn that lead comes in different 'codes', which basically refers to its thickness and weight. Using the wrong one is a recipe for disaster. We typically use Code 4 for window flashings and step flashings on chimneys, but for larger areas like lead valleys or flat lead roofs, we’ll step up to Code 5 or higher. Why does this matter? Because lead expands and contracts as the temperature changes. If it’s too thin for the job, it’ll eventually crack; if it’s fitted too tightly without room to breathe, it’ll buckle. We make sure every piece we install is perfectly weighted for the specific job it’s doing on your roof.

Reliable Chimney Flashing Repairs
Is there a mysterious damp patch appearing on the breast of your chimney? More often than not, the culprit is the lead flashing. Over time, the mortar pointing can fail, or the lead itself can perish, allowing 'capillary action' to suck water upwards and behind the tiles. We specialise in full chimney leadwork restoration, including apron flashings and step flashings that are deeply 'chased' into the brickwork and secured properly. We don’t just tuck it in and hope for the best; we ensure it’s locked in and sealed with specialist, gritstone-compatible mortar that won’t crack the first time we get a frost in Poynton.

01484 627842Watertight Valleys and Gutters
The valleys—those 'V' shaped channels where two roof slopes meet—carry a huge amount of water during a Cheshire storm. If these are blocked, or if the lead has started to thin and split, you’re looking at serious structural rot in your roof timbers. We install high-performance lead valleys designed to handle the heaviest Pennine-edge rainfall. By using the correct laps and ensuring the lead has enough 'play' to move, we provide a drainage solution that outlasts modern plastic or felt alternatives by decades. It’s an investment that saves you the massive headache of a full roof timber replacement down the line.
