As a material Lead is 100% recyclable and the advantages of its use are vast when compared to other materials used for the same purpose. Rolled Lead Sheet Flashings and can be formed around all areas where water ingress is high risk such as chimney base & rooftile abutments, roofing tiles and brickwork of a building. Due to the malleability of the material itself and the consistency of its thickness, correctly installed lead sheet will move with a building, expanding and contracting, coping with the wide range of temperature fluctuations a building can experience. Flashings made from plastics and bitumen can be susceptable to cracking under UV-rays becoming brittle over time. This can lead to water ingress, damage to the roof structure itself, severley reduce K value of the insulation and cause internal damage to the building. Flashings around chimneys, dormer or bay windows, parapet cappings, gutters, parapet gutters and valley gutters in particular are specifically designed to keep out water and should always be formed using a trusted and tested material that will not require maintenance or replacement for many years to come. Lead is by far the best material in this instance.
