What is Clean Lead Sheet?
Clean lead sheet is the premium lead grade, sourced from roofing flashing, church roofs, and commercial building weatherproofing. Lead sheet is rolled to specific thicknesses (codes 3-8) and is nearly pure lead. It is heavy, soft, and easily recognisable by its grey colour and weight. The code number gives the weight: code 3 is 14.2 kg per square metre, code 4 is 20.4 kg, code 5 is 25.4 kg, code 6 is 30.1 kg, code 7 is 35.7 kg and code 8 is 40.3 kg. A 300 mm wide strip of code 4 flashing weighs about 6 kg per metre run, so the flashing from one chimney is typically 15-30 kg.
Tips for best price
- Lead is very heavy. Even a small amount is worth the trip.
- Remove any nails, felt, or concrete attached to the sheet.
- Be aware that lead theft from roofs is a serious criminal offence. Only sell lead you legitimately own.
