Prevent Lead Theft – Use Lead Subsitutes

Ubiflex is a flexible flashing system, which is ideal for using as a substitute or lead replacment for flashings, soakers and valley linings.  Unfortunately Bingley Roofing Contractors Ltd are being contacted by private and business properties, reporting the theft of the lead on a regular basis.  In these situations we ask the client to consider Ubiflex, as it has many advantages, such as;

• no scrap value
• similar appearance to lead
• lighter, easier to install
• fully malleable
• Not susceptible to thermal movement
• self sealing if punctured
• compatible with all common building materials
• Can be used to form damp courses and cavity walls
• Is approved by the NHBC and Zurich Insurance
• Holds a BBA certificate
• Is tested and proven to be wind resistant up to 100mph
