BS EN 12588 rolled lead sheet correctly and in accordance with
BS 6915:2001+A1:2014. These accessories support proper detailing, thermal movement control,

expansion joints for bays beyond recommended lengths,
patination oil for surface protection,

applications, forming an integral part of a complete lead roofing system.
What Leadwork Accessories Are Used For
Leadwork accessories are essential for any compliant installation of rolled lead sheet.
They improve detailing, control movement, protect the material and support the durability of flashings,
bays, gutters and traditional roofing work. Without the correct accessories, even high-quality lead can
underperform or fail prematurely.
Lead Underlay / Building Paper
Lead underlay
provides a crucial vapour control layer, reduces underside corrosion and enables the sheet
to move freely as temperatures change.
Expansion Joints
Expansion joints
prevent splitting and buckling on oversized bays by allowing safe, controlled thermal movement.
Patination Oil
Patination oil
protects new leadwork, minimising white staining and ensuring a stable, attractive surface patina.
Wood Rolls (Timber Rolls / Mopsticks)
Timber rolls are used to form traditional roll-jointed bays, hips and ridges—critical in
heritage and conservation leadwork.
Lead Sealant
Lead sealant
replaces rigid mortar, providing a flexible bond in masonry chases that moves with the lead rather than cracking.
Pair Leadwork Accessories With the Correct Fixings
Every accessory works alongside non-corrosive fixings, which are essential for BS 6915 compliance.
