Why should I register with you?

Registering with us puts you under no obligation whatsoever. However, by doing so we will keep you up-to-date with any price offers that we have or other promotions that we may run from time to time. We do not store any financial details on our system – all card transactions are handled by a third party to which we have no connection.

Back to questions

Does your lead conform to British Standards?

All the Milled Lead that we sell via the website conforms to BS:EN12588. Our sister company Sand Cast Lead (UK) Ltd makes a product which, due to its very nature, cannot conform to a British Standard. However, this is still produced to a high specification and has a tolerance level of +/-5% of nominal weight.
