Leadwork Specialists in Pudsey | Protecting Your Home from the Leeds Weather
Have you ever noticed how the classic stone houses around Pudsey and Farsley seem to stand up to almost anything the Yorkshire weather throws at them? A huge part of that durability comes down to the leadwork. It’s the unsung hero of your roof, acting as the critical seal between your masonry and your tiles or slates. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we’re not just general roofers; we’re specialists in the traditional art of lead fabrication. Whether you’ve got a leaking chimney stack or you’re lucky enough to own a heritage property in a conservation area, we bring decades of hands-on experience to every job. We know the local architecture inside out, from Victorian terraces to modern builds, ensuring your home stays bone-dry even during a Pennine downpour.
Why Choose Us?
Lead: The Gold Standard for Weatherproofing
Most homeowners we chat with are surprised to learn that high-quality leadwork can last for over 60 years if it’s installed correctly. Compare that to some modern plastic alternatives that crack after a few harsh winters, and you can see why it’s a 'once-in-a-generation' investment. Lead is incredibly flexible, meaning we can shape it to fit the unique nooks and crannies of your roof. However, it’s a material that demands respect and skill. If it’s fitted too tightly, it can’t expand and contract with the temperature, leading to splits. That’s why we strictly follow BS 6915 standards and LSTA guidelines. It’s about more than just laying a sheet of metal; it’s about understanding the science of how water moves and ensuring it’s always directed away from your home's structure.

Who We Are
Traditional Bossing and Precision Lead Welding
When we arrive at your property in Pudsey, you’ll likely see us using two primary techniques: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional method where we manually shape the lead using wooden or plastic tools—it’s a bit like an art form, really. For more complex shapes or larger joins, we use lead welding (often called lead burning). This creates a seamless, watertight bond that is much stronger than using sealants. We don’t believe in 'quick fixes' or messy patches. If a lead valley is failing, we don’t just slap some bitumen over it; we trace the source of the leak, remove the failed section, and install a fresh, bespoke piece of lead that’s designed to last for decades.

Using the Correct Lead Codes for Every Repair
Have you heard of Lead Codes? It’s basically the trade term for how thick the lead is. Using the wrong code is one of the biggest mistakes we see. For example, Code 3 is great for thin soakers hidden under slates, but for a main roof valley or a flat lead roof, you really need Code 5, 6, or even 7. We always select the right weight for the specific job to prevent 'fatigue cracking.' We also pay close attention to things like capillary action—that’s when water is actually 'sucked' upwards through tiny gaps in poorly fitted lead. By designing our flashings and overlaps with enough 'girth,' we ensure that gravity does its job and the water stays exactly where it should: in the gutters and off your ceilings.

01484 627842Lead Flashings, Valleys, and Chimney Protection
The areas where your roof meets a wall or a chimney are the most vulnerable spots on your house. If you’ve spotted a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling near a chimney breast, the flashing is usually the culprit. We specialise in step flashings (those zig-zagging pieces along the side of a chimney) and apron flashings. We also handle lead valleys—the channels where two roof pitches meet. These collect a lot of water, so they need to be wide and deep enough to handle a heavy Leeds storm. We take great care in 'chasing' the lead into your masonry and pointing it with specialist, gritstone-compatible mortar to ensure it doesn't just look great, but stays securely in place for the long haul.
