Why choose the Premium Code 4 914mm 6m Roofing Lead?

The code 4 914mm x 6m roofing lead is one of the very widest rolled lead sheets produced under BS EN 12588, offering exceptional coverage for major roofing details where standard widths are not sufficient. At an impressive 914mm wide (36 inches), this long roll is the ideal choice for deep parapet walls, oversized chimney gutters, commercial box gutters, large abutments, flat-to-pitched roof transitions and premium heritage weathering work.

This code 4 914mm x 6m roofing lead format drastically reduces jointing and provides a cleaner, stronger, more reliable finish across extensive roof areas. Code 4 offers an excellent balance of strength, weight and malleability, making it the perfect choice for large-scale flashings that still require shaping on-site.

Installers benefit from significant labour savings due to the increased sheet length, while clients gain superior waterproofing performance and a polished architectural finish.

Because 914mm is one of the widest rolled-lead formats available, careful planning is vital. Ensure the substrate is fully supported and smooth over the entire width. Avoid overstretching and ensure thermal movement allowances follow LSTA/LSA specifications.

Apply patination oil immediately after fixing and seal chases using either traditional mortar or
Lead Mate Sealant.
