Lead roofer for flat roof

[KayleyH]

Can anyone recommend a lead roofer to do a flat roof for us? We are in West Sussex.  Many thanks.

I’m confused. You want to use lead on an entire flat roof? Didn’t even know that was a thing

Depends on the size..? Is it a fully flat roof needing rolls etc or just a flat roof over a window..?

Certainly is. Has one big disadvantage though as many a church has found out...

Apart from the theft aspect isn’t it really expensive compared to other covering? We had some lead work on our roof and the rolls of lead were costly.

The advantage is in its longevity. There are lead roofs, still keeping the rain out, that were installed before GRP and EPDM was invented!
