Leadwork Specialists Wath Upon Dearne
Ever wondered why some roofs in Wath Upon Dearne look as good today as they did fifty years ago? It's usually down to the leadwork. Whether you're living in a traditional stone cottage near the church or a modern semi in Rotherham, lead is the unsung hero that keeps the South Yorkshire rain out of your rafters. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we don't just 'patch up' roofs; we treat leadwork as a craft. We've spent years perfecting the art of shaping and joining lead to create a watertight seal that outlasts almost every other building material. If you've spotted a damp patch on the ceiling near your chimney or where a flat roof meets the wall, there's a good chance the lead has perished or was never fitted properly in the first place. Why settle for a quick fix that'll fail next winter when you can have a permanent solution installed by local experts?
Why Choose Us?
Correct Lead Codes Ensure Durability
Not all lead is created equal, and using the wrong 'code' is a mistake we see all too often. In the trade, we talk about Codes 3 through 8, which basically refers to the thickness and weight of the sheet. If a roofer uses Code 3 for a valley gutter where Code 5 is needed, it's going to buckle and split under the heat of the sun. We follow BS 6915 standards to the letter, ensuring the right weight for the right job. For your typical chimney flashings, we'll usually opt for Code 4, while heavier-duty areas like flat lead roofs or deep valleys require Code 5 or 6 to handle the expansion and contraction. It’s this attention to detail that guarantees your roof stays bone-dry for decades, not just months. Have you checked if your current leadwork is thick enough to stand up to a Pennine winter?

Who We Are
Professional Bossing And Lead Welding
Getting lead to fit the awkward shapes of your roof requires two main skills: bossing and welding. Bossing is the traditional method where we manually 'beat' the lead into shape using specialized wooden or plastic tools. It’s a bit like sculpture; you have to understand how the metal flows to avoid thinning it out too much. For more complex joints, we use lead welding—often called lead burning. This creates a fused, seamless bond that’s far superior to old-fashioned soldering or, heaven forbid, using silicone sealant. We’re fully trained in LSTA (Lead Sheet Training Academy) techniques, meaning every apron, stepped flashing, and internal corner we produce is built to the highest technical spec. It looks better, performs better, and adds genuine value to your property.

Chimney Flashings Protect Your Masonry
Your chimney is one of the most vulnerable parts of your home because it’s hit by wind and rain from every single side. The lead flashing is the critical seal between the bricks of the stack and the tiles of your roof. We specialise in installing stepped flashings, where the lead is cut into the mortar joints (a process called chasing) and then pointed with a gritstone-compatible mortar. We also fit soakers—hidden bits of lead tucked under the slates—to provide a double layer of protection. Without these, water can get 'sucked' upwards through capillary action, leading to rotten roof timbers that you won't even see until the damage is done. Most homeowners we speak to are surprised at how affordable a professional flashing replacement is compared to the cost of a structural repair later on.

01484 627842Patination Oil Prevents White Staining
Have you ever seen a house with ugly white streaks running down the tiles or bricks below a piece of lead? That’s carbonate staining, and it happens when new lead isn't treated. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we never skip the final, vital step: applying patination oil. This specialized oil creates a protective film that allows the lead to age naturally into that beautiful, uniform dull grey colour we all love. It stops the oxidation process from washing off onto your roof or masonry, keeping your Wath Upon Dearne home looking sharp and professional. It's a small detail, but it’s one of the ways you can tell a specialist leadworker apart from a general handyman.
