I have to buy lead for flashing a neighbours roof that I have changed

guess I need 240mm, about 12 metres length (6 for neighour, 6 for me).

Best prices I have found are (nearly half the prices of other sources)

But, any alternatives folks have tried ?

Can you get (much cheaper) soft aluminium flashing that can be dressed
into profiled roof tiles ?

I think lead is still the preferred option, mainly because of the weight
i.e. it doesn't lift in the wind. Wouldn't like to carry that stuff up a
ladder though

Max lengths for code 4 lead is 1.5 metres (for expansion),
I intend to carry it up in lengths that size !
