Although there is a good argument to use it, lead flashing places extra stress on the gutters and roof line of any house. If lead flashing is not installed perfectly, it can widen cracks in the foundations of a home because of its density and weight.
Operatives will need regular checks on their blood levels whilst working with lead, Lead supplies are lower than they have ever been and this has driven the cost of lead up.
