300mm Code 4, £102 + VAT. Ouch! How much on a roll ? - I fear my bay window (already done in lead) will need replacing soon... If you get a decent amount on a roll, I might even consider it for the ground floor extension :-} |

Plastics, in the broad sense, don't like the UV in sunlight and degrade at various rates, normally becoming brittle and then not able to cope with the thermal cycling. A decent bit of lead flashing will last the best part of 100 years or longer, that is a tough challenge to match. Is that what the Wickes stuff, referred to above, is? I've used some "flash band" in the past thin bit of metal (0.5 to 1mm thick, a quick google indicates the metal to be aluminium) coated with a couple of mm of black bitumen like sticky stuff one one side. Works well enough. I guess the thickness of the goop allows enough movement for thermal expansion. Aluminium is pretty stable, through I'm not sure how it would do near the coast with salt in the air, particulary if in contact with any iron from nails/screws etc. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

Well I took some old odds and ends to the scrap dealers the other week educating the nippers about recycling. Thought they were going to get a Fiver as pocket money.. Nearer £25 quid was what it raised. The price of scrap copper is silly money!.. -- Tony Sayer |

Just by chance, I was at the scrap dealers last week, and asked about the price of scrap cast iron and steel. £80/tonne was what they were paying then - which makes it worthwhile keeping a pile of odds and ends in the back garden until there is a van full of it. I took down some cast iron guttering today, so I'll be weighing in the lot in a few weeks. To the OP, apparently, lead has gone up in price 4 fold in the last year, shotgun cartridges are being increased in price by around 15% this month, the 2nd rise in a year.
