Midland Lead Code 7 Roofing Lead Flashing Roll is a premium cast lead sheet made to BBA quality approval (BBA 86/1764) and is the ideal material to use for flashings and weatherproofing. Lead is highly resistant to corrosion and fully malleable, which makes it easy to use and ideal as a weatherproofing material. Also, because lead is heavy, it doesn’t run the risk of lifting in high winds - unlike its non-lead alternatives.
Code 7 roofing lead has a thickness of 3.15mm and is suitable for a variety of applications including flat and pitched roofing, vertical cladding, parapet, box and tapered valley gutters, bay tops and canopies and more.
With a life-expectancy of well beyond 100 years, Midland Lead premium cast lead is also manufactured with responsibly sourced materials including recycled lead only which makes it a highly sustainable building material.
Don't forget to apply patination oil to lead to avoid white staining (oxidisation) and it also adds sheen to the lead. Midland Lead accessories are delivered free when ordered with lead flashing.
What Is Machine Cast Lead?
It is produced by dipping a rotating water-cooled drum into a bath of molten lead. The sheet is formed on the immersed section of the drum and peels off at the top. It is wound into spools before being cut into sheet rolls.
Please Note: To avoid thermal expansion and contraction issues, individual flashing pieces must not exceed 1.5m in length. Due to temperature fluctuations, regular spaced expansion joints must be used.

Help & Advice
What is the difference between machine cast and rolled lead?
The only real difference is the way they’re made. But there is no difference in the quality of the lead (both are made to the same BS specification), and the difference in appearance is barely noticeable. And they are both as easy to work with as the other.
What size and code is most commonly used in construction?
Code 4 is most commonly used, and Code 5 is used in some cases. Most rolls are purchased in 6m lengths, and common widths are between 150mm - 450mm.
Our guide to choosing the right lead code can help you decide.
