Lead Flashing Roll – Code 3 – Roofing & Weatherproofing

Product Overview

This 11kg Industrial Grade Milled Lead Flashing comes in a 240mm width and 3m length, providing 0.72m² of coverage per roll. The Code 3 specification refers to a thickness of 1.32mm, which equates to 14.97kg per m². This makes it ideal for soakers, sheltered details, and lighter-duty weatherproofing applications where reduced weight and easy handling are desired.

With a width of 240mm, this flashing is well-suited for medium-width soakers, dormer flashings, and small abutments. The 3m roll allows for manageable handling and straightforward installation in confined or elevated working areas. Manufactured to BS EN 12588 standards, the milling process ensures uniform thickness, fine grain structure, and a smooth finish, which facilitates consistent dressing and shaping during installation.

This product is designed to provide a malleable, durable, and fully weatherproof junction at vulnerable roof connections such as small chimneys, upstands, and roof abutments, ensuring long-term protection of the building envelope. Applying patination oil after installation is essential to prevent carbonate staining and maintain the appearance.

Features & Benefits

• Exceptional Durability: Provides long service life with resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and weathering.
• Malleability: Code 3 thickness allows easy dressing with hand tools for accurate formation of tight details.
• Weatherproofing: Creates an impermeable barrier to prevent water penetration at roof junctions.
• BS EN 12588 Compliance: Manufactured with consistent thickness and metallurgical quality.
• Sustainable Material: Fully recyclable with high potential recycled content.
• Coverage Efficiency: Each 11kg roll provides 0.72m² of flashing material, suitable for medium-width details.

Applications

• Medium-Width Soakers: Provides appropriate width for intermediate soaker fabrication.
• Small Abutments: Forms a secure weatherproof junction at lighter-duty connections.
• Roof Junctions: Suitable for various small roof intersection details.
• Dormer Flashings: Ideal for typical dormer cheek intersections.

Installation Guidance

• Preparation: Ensure substrates are dry, sound, and clear of debris.
• Fixing: Install with wedges or clips, allowing unrestrained movement for thermal expansion.
• Lap Joints: Provide a 100mm lap on pitches above 30°, increasing to 150mm for lower pitches or more exposed locations.
• Patination Oil: Apply immediately after fitting to prevent staining.
• Support: Provide adequate support beneath wider sections to reduce fatigue risk.
