Rolled Lead Sheet
manufactured by the experts

For more than ninety years, British Lead has been producing rolled lead sheet that protects the nation’s buildings and supports the work of skilled trades. From our mill site in Welwyn Garden City, every roll is manufactured with care, precision, and a respect for a craft that has stood the test of time.

Our lead sheet is made entirely from recycled material and manufactured with decades of experience.  Builders, roofers, and architects rely on it for its proven durability, natural weather resistance, and the confidence that it will endure for generations.
Trusted by the trade

Quality shaped by experience

For generations, tradespeople have chosen British Lead because our materials behave exactly as they should. Each roll is produced with precise control over thickness, weight, and finish, giving roofers, builders, and architects complete confidence when they come to fit and install it.

Support from people who understand the craft

Our experienced manufacturing team have spent many years working with lead sheet. Many have built their expertise through years of hands‑on experience in manufacturing lead sheet to exacting standards, developing a deep understanding of how lead is produced and used across the industry. When customers need guidance on product selection or manufacturing-related queries, they speak to someone who truly understands the material and its applications.
We are always happy to advise on production or specification questions. For installation advice, we direct all customers to the Lead Sheet Training Academy, the industry’s recognised centre for best‑practice guidance.

Consistency that carries a reputation

Every roll is manufactured to BS EN 12588 standards and checked through a rigorous quality assurance process. This consistency is why trades across the UK turn to British Lead. They know that what they receive today will perform exactly the same as the product they used years ago.

Built to last

A material proven through time

Lead sheet has protected Britain’s buildings for centuries. When installed correctly, it can last for more than a hundred years, offering a level of reliability that few modern materials can match. Its natural weather resistance and ability to flex with the building make it a trusted choice for roofs of every style.

Crafted for long term performance

Our production process ensures a uniform grain structure that gives the sheet its strength, durability, and protective qualities. The material can be shaped, dressed, and fitted with ease while still standing up to decades of harsh weather when installed correctly.

Chosen for heritage, trusted for new builds

Whether restoring historic landmarks or constructing modern buildings, craftsmen rely on British Lead for its longevity and stable performance. It is a material designed to serve generation after generation.

British Lead is committed to the circular manufacturing economy. Our product is 100% recycled.  All our feedstock is sourced from reputable UK recyclers. This approach eliminates the need for primary extraction and keeps valuable material within the British economy.

Our facility in Welwyn Garden City uses a minimal waste process where offcuts and by-products are returned directly to the cycle. Continuous monitoring, modern filtration systems, and robust environmental controls ensure responsible operations throughout the mill.

Certified for environmental, safety, and quality standards
