Lead roof remedies

For roofing, lead provides a number of benefits. Its malleability and flexibility make it simple to work around specific roofing elements. This characteristic indicates that it is resistant to changes in temperature. Unlike many other materials, it is unlikely to crack since it easily expands in hot weather and contracts in cold weather.

Long-lasting lead roofing

In comparison to other materials, lead has a three times longer lifespan. In addition to being fireproof, it is also quite good at waterproofing and insulating, which is what matters most. It is also one of the materials that may be most recyclable.

Issues with lead roofing

Lead is a very hazardous metal that can impair a child's growth as well as cause major health issues. However, touching lead or inhaling lead dust typically poses the greatest risk. The risk is virtually nonexistent because your lead roofing is located so far above you.

A more severe issue is that rain from your roof's runoff can corrode and taint the lead. As long as the run-off is directed properly into the drains, this shouldn't be an issue, but if your roof is made of lead, you should avoid utilising run-off water in the garden.

Select a lead roof expert

Working with lead roofing is actually the most risky part of it. Lead-working roofers are required to wear a lot of protective gear and follow very strict safety guidelines. This means that only qualified experts who are familiar with the material should install or restore lead roofing.
