Advise please... I'm having a roof fitted with zinc faced shingles, the invoice says lead should not be used for flashing due to a chemical reaction with the zinc.
The guy who does the leadwork says he doesn't know where to buy zinc, and could use lead with a bitumen flashing in between to stop the reaction.
Would anybody know where I can buy zinc flashing?
Thanks
Gareth

Thanks for all your help guys, have investigated with several reputable organisations who all say no probs, think the shingle manufacturers are just covering their bottoms.
