About The Lead Lads

The Lead Lads are a team of leadworking specialists rooted in real roofing practice. Based in the North West of England and supporting projects throughout the UK, we combine hands-on installation knowledge with practical product guidance for lead roofing, lead flashing, lead cladding, lead guttering and professionally specified rolled lead sheet.

The business has grown from genuine trade experience. We do not approach lead as a generic merchant line. We understand it as a specialist material that performs properly only when the correct code, width, detailing logic and fixing strategy are used. That is what shapes both The Lead Lads and the Lead Lads Shop.

Why The Lead Lads Shop exists

The Lead Lads Shop was created to solve a common problem in roofing and construction: lead is too often sold without enough guidance. We regularly see failures linked to the wrong lead code, unsuitable widths, poor junction detailing, weak fixing strategy or products being ordered without reference to recognised standards.

This platform exists to make ordering lead correctly quicker, clearer and more repeatable. Every product page, guide and category is informed by real site experience and aligned with recognised UK best practice, including BS EN 12588 for rolled lead sheet and established guidance for traditional leadwork detailing.
