Associated Lead Mills

Provides a selection of fixing clips together with strip, from which fixing clips of the desired size may be cut. Both strips and clips are vailable in copper and stainless steel. Clips either 0.6 mm gauge copper or 0.4 mm stainless steel are normally recommended. However when clips are required to be malleable enough to follow complex profiles, only copper clips cab ne used. Steel clips are preferred when the clip can only be fixed at its top extremity and rigidity is required e.g. over a glass roof.

Provides a preferred alternative to the use of mortar as a pointing material for lead-brick and lead masonry joints. Mortar is unable to expand and contract with lead and masonry during temperature variations leading in some cases to the mortar cracking and allowing ingress of water. Is a one part, neutral cure, silicone based sealant that once applied will cure to give a flexible, durable and elastic seal, capable of accommodating the high degree of thermal expansion and contraction often encountered with lead flashings exposed to direct sunlight.

The flexibility of lead allows the slate base to be dressed to tiles of all profiles, avoiding wind lift or chatter problems. Bases are cut from BS EN 12588 Code 4 rolled lead sheet. The Neoprene conical upstand is vulcanised at elevated temperature and pressure in contact with the base, forming a very strong rubber-metal bond. Two conical upstand profiles are avilable, flat for 0°–30° roof pitched for 20°–40° roof pitches.

Hall Clips were the concept of a working roofer designed to save time and money during the installation and lead flashings. The Hall Clip firmly grips lead in place and is installed literally in seconds without the use of any 'special' tools. Hall Clips come supplied in bags of approximately 50 clips which are small enough, and light enough, to easily fit the tool box or pocket and will secure any flashings in a chase from 6 mm to 18 mm.

Provides weather-tight joints where flue pipes and soil stacks penetrate a slate, tile, asphalt, felt or lead covered roof. The flexibility of lead allows the slate base to be dressed to tiles of all profiles avoiding wind lift or chatter problems. Slates are cut for BS EN 12588 Code 4 rolled lead sheet and fabricated by lead welding. Slate upstands are avaiable in five diameters from the 50 mm to 150 mm at angles 30° and 45° to the base for pitched roofs and 90° for flat roofs. Includes further details on the product, advice on use, lot sizes, health and saftey advice and product description and properties.

In damp conditions, untreated lead sheet will quickly generate a white carbonate layer, which rainfall will quickly transfer to neighbouring slates, tiles or brickwork, causing unsightly stains. Premium Patination Oil is an alkyd resin based liquid which, when applied to lead sheet, provides a permeable coating through which the metal surface will oxidise at a controlled rate. Over time this oxidised layer develops into a uniform dull grey adherent patina. This patina is stable, pleasing in appearance and replaces the protection initially supplied by the Patination Oil.

There are two categories of Premium Underlay: Building Papers conform to BS EN 1521/ AIF Are suitable for smooth plywood decking (underside of decking must be ventilated). Can prevent chemical attack from smooth concrete, stone or oak surfaces. Must be fitted over whole substrate area. Geotextiles Are needle punched, non-woven geotextile polyestermaterials in two unit weights - 200 and 220 g.m-2. Are suitable for more uneven surfaces, e.g. traditional timber boards. Do not rot or cause adhesion. Allow space for airflow between lead sheet and substrate.

Is used as the basis for lead sheet joints on flat roofing and pitched roofing as well as traditional 'hard' metal roofing. When there is the prospect of foot traffic, the wood cored roll joint is preferable to a hollow roll joint, as it is less prone to pressure damage. Has been subjected to high pressure impregnation of a wood preservative, which protects the wood against timber rotting fungi and wood destroying insects. Unsuitable for use on curved surfaces of small radii, such as semi-circular dorma tops.
