Whitworth Leadwork Experts Protecting Your Home
<p>Ever wondered why some of the older stone cottages in Rossendale stay bone-dry for a century while newer builds can struggle with damp? It often comes down to the leadwork. At Tyler’s Roofing Services, we see lead as the "critical seal" of your property. It’s the unsung hero tucked into your chimney stacks and roof valleys, quietly keeping the driving Pennine rain out of your rafters. We don't just "patch things up" with sticky tape or bitumen; we use traditional skills to ensure your roof is watertight for the next fifty years or more.</p><p>Imagine you’ve just noticed a faint damp patch on your bedroom ceiling. Most homeowners we speak to worry it's a massive structural issue, but often, it’s just a piece of tired lead flashing that’s reached the end of its life. Based right here in Whitworth, we’ve spent years fixing leaky roofs and restoring heritage properties across Lancashire, ensuring every joint and seal is built to last.</p>
Why Choose Us?
Quality Lead Sheets Meeting British Standards
<p>Not all lead is the same, and using the wrong "Code" is a mistake we see far too often. Whether it’s Code 4 for your step flashings or a heavier Code 5 or 6 for those deep roof valleys, we follow BS 6915 and LSTA (Lead Sheet Training Academy) guidelines to the letter. This isn't just about being "fussy"—it’s about basic physics. Lead expands and contracts as the weather shifts from a frosty Lancashire morning to a sunny afternoon. If it’s fitted too tightly or the wrong thickness is used, it’ll eventually buckle and crack.</p><p>We take the time to get the "bossing" (the manual shaping of the lead) and "lead welding" (using heat to join sheets) exactly right. This allows the lead to "breathe" without letting a single drop of water in. You won't find any shortcuts here; just honest, technical craftsmanship that respects the heritage of our local buildings.</p>

Who We Are
Chimney Flashings Defying Rossendale Storms
<p>If your chimney is sitting on the ridge of a hill in the Rossendale Valley, it’s taking a beating from the wind and rain every single day. Over time, old mortar loosens and the lead can pull away from the stone. Our team specialises in "chasing and pointing"—the process of cutting a clean groove into your masonry, securing the new lead with specialist clips, and sealing it with gritstone-compatible mortar that matches our local architecture.</p><p>We also use "soakers"—cleverly concealed pieces of lead tucked under your slates—to provide a double layer of protection. This attention to detail stops "capillary action," where water essentially tries to suck itself upwards into your roof space. It’s this kind of thoroughness that gives our customers total peace of mind when the winter weather sets in.</p>

Professional Patination Oil For A Perfect Finish
<p>Have you ever noticed white, chalky streaks running down a newly repaired roof? That’s lead carbonate, and it happens when fresh lead meets rainwater. To prevent this unsightly staining on your beautiful Lancashire stone, we always apply "patination oil" to our work. It protects the metal and gives it that classic, uniform grey look from day one.</p><p>It’s a small step that many budget roofers skip to save twenty minutes, but we believe that if you’re investing in heritage leadwork, it should look stunning and stay that way. After all, your home is likely your biggest asset—it deserves a finish that adds to its kerb appeal rather than detracting from it.</p>
