I have to buy lead for flashing a neighbours roof that I have changed from mono ridge to abutment, and also for when I flash my roof. I guess I need 240mm, about 12 metres length (6 for neighour, 6 for me).
Best prices I have found are (nearly half the prices of other sources)
Can you get (much cheaper) soft aluminium flashing that can be dressed into profiled roof tiles ?
Cheers, Simon.
Aluminium work hardens very quickly. Stick to the tried and tested materials like lead or zinc. Zinc lasts well but is harder to work.

Yep, macbuildingproducts is slightly cheaper and delivery a lot less. I guess you just have to pay out ;-) Simon.
I think lead is still the preferred option, mainly because of the weight i.e. it doesn't lift in the wind. Wouldn't like to carry that stuff up a ladder though
Max lengths for code 4 lead is 1.5 metres (for expansion), I intend to carry it up in lengths that size ! Simon.
