Leadwork Specialists in Royton Operating Across Oldham
Expert leadwork stops Royton's rain in its tracks
Living around Royton and the wider Oldham area, you know exactly how the Pennine weather treats our homes. The driving rain and high winds don't just test your tiles; they hunt for any tiny gap where your roof meets a chimney or a wall. That is where leadwork comes in. It is essentially the 'critical seal' of your property. While modern materials come and go, nothing beats the reliability of traditional lead when it is fitted by someone who knows the craft. We see it all the time—homeowners who have tried a quick 'stick-on' flashing fix only to find damp patches appearing in the bedroom six months later. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we do things differently. We treat leadwork as a specialist skill, ensuring every fold and weld is designed to keep your home bone-dry for decades, not just seasons.
Why Choose Us?
Traditional skills meet modern safety standards
You might wonder why lead is still the gold standard after all these years. It is because lead is incredibly flexible and, when handled correctly, can last over 60 years. Our team does not just 'fit' lead; we are trained in the technical nuances of BS 6915 standards. Whether it is Code 4 lead for your flashings or heavier Code 5 and 6 for those deep valleys that carry the bulk of the runoff, we match the weight to the job. We use traditional techniques like bossing—the art of manually shaping the lead—and lead welding (or lead burning) to create seamless, watertight joints. It is the kind of work that requires a steady hand and a deep understanding of how metal expands and contracts in the Lancashire sun and frost. By following LSTA guidelines, we ensure your investment is protected by craftsmanship that actually stands the test of time.

Who We Are
Watertight chimney and wall flashings
Have you noticed a stubborn damp spot on the breast of your chimney? More often than not, it is the lead flashing that has failed. Over time, old mortar can crack or the lead itself might have been fitted too tightly, causing it to split. We specialise in step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings that create a perfect transition between your masonry and your roof. We don't just slap on some sealant and hope for the best. We properly 'chase' the lead into the stone or brickwork and use specialist gritstone-compatible mortar or professional lead sealant to point it back in. We also install 'soakers'—those hidden pieces of lead tucked under your slates—to provide an extra layer of defence that most people never even see until they realise their house is finally leak-free.

Durable lead valleys and professional finishing
The valleys of your roof—those internal angles where two slopes meet—are high-traffic areas for rainwater. If they are poorly fitted, they can suffer from 'capillary action,' where water is actually sucked upwards and under your tiles, leading to hidden rot in your roof timbers. We build lead valleys that are wide enough and deep enough to handle the heaviest Oldham downpours. Once the lead is in place, we always apply patination oil. This is a step that many general builders skip, but it is vital. It prevents that unsightly white carbonate staining from running down your tiles and ensures your lead develops a beautiful, uniform grey finish that looks fantastic against the local red brick and stone architecture. It is these small details that separate a 'job done' from a 'job done right.'
