Further to being a stockist of hard metals, ALM also stock and supply all the accessories that go with each system.

ALM’s complete range of lead ancillary products display the Lead Sheet Association stamp of approval and are recommended for use by The Lead Contractor’s Association. With backing from the LSA, a 50 YEAR Warranty is provided for all Rolled Lead supplied by ALM.

ALM hold extensive stocks of Lead along with a supporting range of accessories such as fixing clips and strips, hall clips and stainless steel or copper Annular Ringshank Nails. Always look for the Premium Roofing Products label to ensure the best quality possible. Geotextile underlay, or Geotec as it’s also know should also be used beneath the lead as a separation layer. ALM can also supply FSC certificated wood cored roll in various sizes according to batten roll height requirement. From small 38mm roll to king roll 75mm. All of which are required to neatly and correctly construct a lead roof.

Historically, lead gutters could only be laid in runs of 2 metres maximum. ALM hold stocks of lead expansion joints allowing this limitation to be exceeded meaning the drop from one end of a building to the other is severely reduced.

Once the lead installation is complete, Premium Roofing Products Flashpoint available in sand and grey colour (to match the metal or the sand cement) should be used to seal any chased brickwork and Lead Patination Oil should be used to prevent patina run off.
