Leadwork Specialists in Todmorden Operating Across Calderdale
Expert Leadwork Services in Todmorden
Have you ever looked at the beautiful stone buildings around Todmorden and wondered how they stay watertight against the driving Pennine rain? Most of the time, the secret is high-quality leadwork. Whether it’s a Victorian terrace near the town centre or a remote farmhouse up on the tops, lead is the unsung hero that keeps the Calderdale weather where it belongs—outside. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of lead fabrication. We don’t just 'patch things up' with sticky tape or sealant; we use traditional skills to create a permanent, flexible seal that moves with your building. If you've noticed a damp patch on your ceiling or seen a bit of metal flapping near your chimney, it’s probably time we had a look. We're locally based and know exactly what our local architecture needs to survive another fifty years of West Yorkshire weather.
Why Choose Us?
Leadwork is the Critical Seal for Your Home
Think of lead as the 'critical seal' of your roof. It’s used in the trickiest spots—where your roof meets a wall, around your chimney, or in the deep valleys where two roof pitches join. If these areas aren't handled by a specialist, you’re asking for trouble. Poorly fitted lead can actually 'suck' water upwards through capillary action, leading to hidden rot in your roof timbers that you won't notice until it's too late. We follow the strict BS 6915 standards on every job, ensuring that every piece of lead is sized and fitted correctly. Most homeowners we chat with are surprised to learn that lead is actually one of the most eco-friendly materials you can use because it’s 100% recyclable and can last over 60 years if it's installed by someone who knows what they're doing. Isn't it worth doing right the first time?

Who We Are
Understanding Lead Codes and BS 6915 Standards
Not all lead is created equal, and using the wrong 'Code' for the job is a mistake we see far too often. The Code refers to the thickness and weight of the lead sheet. For example, we typically use Code 4 for step flashings, but for larger valleys or flat roofs where the water pressure is higher, we’ll move up to Code 5, 6, or even higher. Using lead that’s too thin for a large area leads to buckling and cracking as the metal expands and contracts in the sun. We’re proud members of the Lead Sheet Training Academy (LSTA) community, which means we don't guess—we calculate exactly what your roof requires. When we provide a quote, we’ll explain exactly why we’ve chosen a specific Code, so you know you're getting a roof that's built to last, not just a quick fix that will fail after one hot summer.

Precision Lead Welding and Traditional Bossing
There are two main ways we shape lead to fit your home: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional method of manually 'beating' the lead into shape using specialist tools. It’s a real craft, and there’s something incredibly satisfying about watching a flat sheet of metal being shaped perfectly around a complex stone corner. For more modern or structural joins, we use lead welding (often called lead burning). This creates a seamless, incredibly strong bond that is far superior to any mechanical joint. We’re experts in both, allowing us to handle bespoke fabrication for everything from decorative dormers to functional gutter linings. We also apply patination oil to every piece of new lead we install. This stops that unsightly white carbonate staining from running down your lovely Todmorden gritstone, keeping everything looking professional and uniform from day one.

01484 627842Stop Leaks with Professional Lead Flashings
The most common call-out we get in Calderdale involves failing chimney flashings or leaking valleys. Because our local stone is porous and the wind here can be fierce, your flashings have to be perfect. We specialise in chasing and pointing, where we cut a precise groove into your masonry to secure the lead, sealing it with a gritstone-compatible mortar that won't crack under pressure. Whether it’s apron flashings, step flashings, or concealed soakers, we make sure the water is channelled away from your interior walls and straight into your gutters. If you’ve noticed a leak after a heavy storm, it’s often just a sign that your old lead has reached the end of its natural life. Why not let us give it a health check before the next big downpour?
