Since 1997, Associated Lead Mills (ALM) has established itself as a leading force in the UK’s roofing supply sector. Built on a foundation of reliability, innovation, and outstanding customer service, ALM is committed to delivering positive partnerships across the industry.

As the leading manufacturer and distributor, ALM supplies their rolled lead sheet, envirolead, to a wide network of roofing and builders’ merchants throughout the UK. envirolead is certified to BS EN 12588 and supported by a 50-year warranty. ALM’s commitment to product transparency is reflected in its responsibility for the full product lifecycle of envirolead. Uniquely, ALM is the only UK supplier to produce rolled, machine cast and traditional sand-cast lead under one roof.

Being a natural material, envirolead stands out as the roofing material with the lowest carbon footprint among comparable materials and is fully recyclable. It’s exceptional longevity, lasting up to three times longer than man-made alternatives, delivers up to a 100% improvement in cost-effectiveness over multiple decades and earns envirolead a BRE Green Guide Rating of A & A+. For these reasons, envirolead is recognised as the most durable, carbon friendly and economical option.

To fulfil its 50-year guarantee, ALM offers a comprehensive Premium Roofing Products ancillary range. This includes patination oil, hall clips, high-quality flexislates and lead slates, and more, ensuring complete system compatibility. These Premium Roofing Products ancillaries have been recommended by the Lead Sheet Advisory Service (LSAS). In addition, ALM manufactures zinc and aluminium fabrications in both standard and bespoke sizes to suit a wide variety of project requirements. These include soakers, valleys, abutments and more.

Complementing their lead expertise, ALM has become a cornerstone of the UK’s hard metals roofing supply industry through its dedicated division, ALM HM. For almost three decades, ALM HM has built a strong reputation for combining reliability with exceptional customer service, supporting contractors and architects with high-quality materials and trusted technical expertise.

ALM HM supplies zinc, copper, stainless steel, and aluminium sheets and coils, partnering with some of Europe’s most respected manufacturers. These include elZinc, Rheinzink, and VMZinc for zinc; Prefa, Kalzip, and Lindab for aluminium; Aurubis and KME for copper; and Uginox and Lindab for stainless steel. The range is further complemented by essential accessories such as insulation, fixings, and rainwater systems, as well as membranes such as their WarmFast range. Service lies at the heart of ALM’s approach, meaning every hard metal customer benefits from expert advice on product selection, application and compliance from the knowledgeable, friendly sales team.

For both lead and hard metal products, detailed technical data sheets are available on request, ensuring every project can be completed responsibly and to the highest standard. ALM also supply an extensive hard metals product catalogue, ‘The Metal Pages’, and lead work guide to ensure customers get the best out of their products.

ALM’s commitment to the roofing industry extends beyond supply. The company actively supports sector development through its partnership with the National Construction Training Services (NCTS) training facility and sponsorship of major industry awards. Many award-winning projects have been supplied by ALM, reflecting the company’s pride in its expertise and its dedication to fostering strong, collaborative client relationships. Not only this, but ALM has also participated in many events supporting industry-related charities such as Band of Builders and The Paul Strank Charitable Trust, including completing a 10,000-foot skydive in October last year and supporting other roofing businesses in their fundraising events.
