Lead Alternatives

There are many viable lead substitutes available in situations where lead is not practical. With the high scrap value of lead, theft has become more of a problem and if you’ve been unfortunate enough to have your lead stolen, you may be interested in the following solutions.

Lead Flashing substitute

The most common way of lead to be stolen is for thieves to take the lead flashing’s.
Here we have used a high quality non lead substitute that comes complete with a 20 Year guarantee. Chased into the brickwork joints just like lead, it’s simple, practical and permanent.
