no funny comments ladies :rotfl:
i got 2 rolls of roofing lead in my loft from god knows when, about 2ft wide and weighs a tonne, i can hardly lift the stuff been told it might be worth a bit of money, any ideas?

as you may or may not be aware the price of all scrap metal is very good at the moment mostly due to the eastern markets demand for steel,copper,lead,and various other metals.

i can't quite rember the exact price per kg but with what your've got you might get £30-£40, it depends on the wieght and grade(thickness).

as a plumber myself, i tend to save my scrap copper and lead and 'wiegh it in' towards the end of the year to help with xmas bills! but if you only have a small amount of lead to weigh in, you might as well take it to the local scrap merchant and spend the profits in your local boozer....;)

For an idea of scrap lead price see here: http://www.letsrecycle.com/prices/metalsPrices.jsp. It is about £500 per tonne.

If its in rolls and unused don't scrap it. ring up a local roofer and offer it him for half of new cost. You will get a lot more than scrap price !
