Leadwork Specialists in Sowerby Bridge Operating Across Calderdale
Expert Leadwork Specialists Protecting Sowerby Bridge Homes
Have you ever noticed how the classic stone houses across Sowerby Bridge and the Calder Valley just seem to belong here? They've stood up to the Pennine weather for over a hundred years, but even the sturdiest mill-worker's cottage has a weak point. Usually, it's where the roof meets the stone. That is where we come in. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we specialise in the traditional art of leadwork, providing that essential, watertight seal that keeps the damp out of your rafters and the warmth in your home. Whether you are living in a historic terrace near the canal or a modern build up on the hillside, our team brings decades of experience to every roll of lead we fit.
Why Choose Us?
Watertight Lead Flashing For Calderdale Stone Properties
Think of lead flashing as the critical 'bridge' between your tiles and your masonry. It is often the first thing to fail on an old roof, leading to those frustrating damp patches on the upstairs ceiling. We see a lot of 'quick-fix' repairs where someone has slapped on a bit of bitumastic tape or cheap sealant, but in a place as wet as Sowerby Bridge, those patches just don't last. We do things properly, using the right Lead Codes for the job. For example, we typically use Code 4 for window flashings and step flashings, ensuring the metal is thick enough to withstand the wind but flexible enough to be dressed perfectly into your stonework. By following the LSTA (Lead Sheet Training Academy) guidelines, we make sure your flashing won't just last a few seasons—it'll likely outlast the roof itself.

Who We Are
Durable Lead Valleys Designed For Heavy Pennine Rain
When the rain hammers down over Calderdale, your roof valleys take the brunt of it, funnelling huge amounts of water into your gutters. If these channels are cracked or poorly installed, you are looking at serious structural rot before you even know there is a leak. We install heavy-duty lead valleys, often using Code 5 or Code 6 lead, which provides the extra weight and durability needed for larger spans. We also pay close attention to something called capillary action—that's when water gets 'sucked' upwards under the lead because of a poor fit. By precision-cutting and bossing the lead to the exact contours of your roof, we eliminate those hidden risks and give you total peace of mind during the next big storm.

Traditional Lead Bossing And Specialist Welding Skills
Lead is a unique material; it's almost like a fabric made of metal. To get it right, you need two distinct skills: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional method where we manually shape the lead using wooden tools, curving it around corners or into chimney 'soakers' without thinning the metal. For more complex shapes or larger flat roofs, we use lead welding (or lead burning). This isn't just about sticking two bits together; it's a technical process that creates a seamless, fused joint that is just as strong as the original sheet. Because we're fully qualified in these specialist techniques, we can take on the intricate heritage work that many general builders simply won't touch.

01484 627842Professional Finish Using Patination Oil And BS 6915 Standards
Have you ever seen a new lead roof that's covered in ugly, white streaks? That's carbonate staining, and it happens when raw lead is exposed to the elements. It doesn't just look messy; it can actually stain your lovely Yorkshire stone. That is why we always apply patination oil to every job we finish. This specialist coating gives the lead that classic, uniform grey look from day one and protects it while it naturally seasons. More importantly, all our work adheres to BS 6915. This British Standard is the 'gold rule' for leadwork, dictating exactly how long each piece of lead should be to allow for thermal expansion. Lead grows and shrinks in the sun and frost; if you pin it down too tight, it will crack. We make sure it has the room to 'breathe,' ensuring a lifespan of 60 years or more.
