Expert Leadwork Specialists in Stockport | Protecting Your Property for Decades
If you've ever looked up at the beautiful Victorian terraces or the sturdy stone buildings around Stockport, you've seen leadwork in action. It's that unassuming grey material tucked into the chimney stacks and valley gutters. While it might not be the most glamorous part of your home, it's arguably the most important. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we think of lead as the 'critical seal' that keeps the damp out of your rafters. We've spent years honing our craft as specialist lead installers, ensuring that every piece of lead fabrication we do is built to stand up to the unique, often driving rain we get here in Greater Manchester.
Why Choose Us?
Traditional Skills Meet Modern Stockport Standards
Why do we still use lead in an age of plastics and sealants? Quite simply, because nothing else lasts as long. When leadwork is installed correctly by a professional, it can easily last sixty years or more. We follow the strict BS 6915 standards and LSTA (Lead Sheet Training Academy) guidelines, ensuring your investment is a once-in-a-generation job. Most homeowners we speak to in Stockport are tired of 'patch-up' repairs that fail after the first heavy frost. By using the right Lead Codes—like Code 4 for flashings or Code 5 and above for heavy-duty valleys—we provide a permanent solution that actually breathes with your building.

Who We Are
Lead Flashing and Chimney Repairs That Actually Last
Have you noticed a damp patch appearing on the ceiling near your chimney breast? More often than not, it's a failure in the lead flashing. Over time, old lead can crack, or poor-quality mortar pointing can crumble away. We specialise in step flashings, apron flashings, and cover flashings that create a watertight bond between your masonry and your roof tiles. We don't just 'slap some sealant on' and hope for the best. We take the time for proper chasing and pointing, using gritstone-compatible mortar that won't shrink or pull away from the Stockport stone, preventing the capillary action that 'sucks' water into your home.

Mastering the Art of Lead Bossing and Welding
There are two main ways to shape lead: bossing and welding (also known as lead burning). Bossing is a traditional manual skill where we hammer the lead into shape without thinning the metal, which is perfect for complex corners. Welding, on the other hand, allows us to join sheets together with heat to create a seamless, waterproof barrier for flat roofs or gutter linings. Whether your property needs bespoke lead fabrication for a heritage restoration or simple roof maintenance on a modern extension, our team has the technical expertise to choose the right method for the job. We've seen far too many DIY attempts where lead has been cut or thinned too much—don't let that happen to your roof.

Stockport is lucky to have some incredible historic architecture, from listed buildings to conservation area cottages. These properties require a sympathetic touch. We understand the nuances of heritage roofing, ensuring that any new leadwork looks like it’s always been there while providing modern-day protection. One detail we never skip is the application of patination oil. Without it, new lead can develop an ugly white carbonate stain that runs down your slates. By applying it immediately, we ensure a professional, uniform grey finish that perfectly complements the local West Yorkshire and Stockport stone, keeping your home looking its best.
