Lead rolls are one of the most durable and reliable materials for weatherproofing roof junctions, chimneys, abutments and heritage buildings. Known for their exceptional lifespan, flexibility and resistance to corrosion, lead rolls provide a secure, watertight seal that adapts to almost any roofing detail. Suitable for new builds, repairs and restoration work, they remain the industry standard for professional roofers.
Lead Rolls Designed for Roofing, Chimneys and Abutments
Our lead rolls offer outstanding durability and flexibility, allowing them to be easily shaped around complex roof details. They provide long-term waterproofing for pitched roofs, flat roofs, dormers, parapet walls and chimney stacks. Thanks to their natural corrosion resistance and ability to withstand harsh weather, lead rolls deliver reliable protection for decades with minimal maintenance required.
Code 4 Lead for Versatile and Reliable Roof Work
Code 4 lead is one of the most commonly used grades for roofing due to its balance of strength, weight and flexibility. Ideal for soakers, step flashing, cover flashing and general roof detailing, code 4 lead is easy to work with while still providing excellent structural stability. It’s suitable for both residential and commercial roofing projects.
Lead Flashing Roll Options for Long-Term Weatherproofing
A lead flashing roll offers superior performance for sealing vulnerable areas such as chimney bases, wall abutments and roof penetrations. Its malleable nature allows it to be dressed neatly into brickwork or natural slate, ensuring a clean finish and watertight seal. A lead flashing roll also expands and contracts naturally with temperature changes, preventing cracks and leaks over time.
