Accessories for a Professional Finish

Lead accessories help protect new installations and improve the appearance of finished work. Use patination oil on fresh lead, clean existing surfaces before treatment, and apply primers or sealants only where the detail and product specification require them.

  • Patination oil — helps reduce staining and encourages more even weathering.
  • Lead cleaners — prepare oxidised or contaminated lead before further treatment.
  • Primers and sealants — support adhesion and weatherproofing where specified.

Compliance & good practice

Work in line with LSTA guidance and BS 6915. Combine accessories with the correct bay sizing, fixings, underlay and movement allowances for durable leadwork.
