Lead for heritage roofs

Heritage

Preserving the past, one roof at a time.

Castles, cathedrals and historic buildings around the world. We work with English Heritage, the National Trust, church authorities, homeowners, architects and planners.

Sandcast lead is hand-made, with a distinctive slightly grainy texture. It is available as standard in Codes 6 to 8, with higher codes on request. We can even collect and re-cast the original material, giving a full circle of life to the lead.

Radiation protection

The most reliable barrier against ionising radiation.

Lead is dense, cost effective and flexible. We have supplied it for radiation protection for decades and worked with Radiation Protection Advisors and industry bodies throughout.

Lead-lined boards and bricks for healthcare, NDT and the nuclear sector. A radiation protection study confirmed our machine cast lead is fit for purpose in healthcare projects.

Lead ingots for ballast

Ballast

Lead ballast and weights for every job.

Lead's high density means you need much less of it to achieve the same counter-balancing effect. Ideal where weight is needed in small spaces, from the keels of sailing yachts to aircraft balancing.

Lead offcuts, ingots and a bespoke lead filling service.
