Lead Roofing coming to an early extinction?

Lead roofing is under scrutiny due to the increased value in lead, meaning the scrapping of lead roofing materials is now preferred by many home owners.

As the value of lead increases, so does the cost per kg to buy and install this material. Even with this higher expense there is still a demand for lead roofing, but why?

Due to the architectural design, conservation requirements and the durability of lead it is still very popular among homeowners and when installed correctly it is still by far one of the strongest roofing materials.

Homeowners can end up spending a fortune to rebuild or fix their roofs using lead.

But what if you could scrap that old lead and not spend over-the-odds to replace your traditional lead.
