Lead is without a doubt one of the oldest materials in the roofing industry and is still commonly used throughout the world today, especially for garden sheds. So why is it such a popular option?

It’s a very flexible natural material, and led sheeting can be pulled taut and stretched around tricky shapes and areas for total coverage, whilst it’s able to expand and contract depending on the temperature, which is extremely useful for a roof in the UK! Lead also provides an exceptional seal against the elements and can be used as a covering for guttering too, helping make a roof be 100% watertight. As a proven, natural material, which is rather aesthetically pleasing, lead will without a doubt be used for many years to come, so if you’re looking for something that’s robust, reliable and has stood the test of time, lead is probably an option you need to consider for your shed roof.
