Old Meets New
Lead has been cast on open sand beds by a small
group of skilled craftsmen with years of experience
since medieval times. With the same meticulous
attention to detail as in those days, this process,
using in part the the existing lead, mixed together
with 99% pure lead known as virgin lead, ensures
the longevity of the product. The process has
changed little since those times. Sand Cast Lead
(UK), far from changing this process, have retained
all those essential qualities and refined them
even further, by combining this traditional manufacturing
technique with the very latest technology to produce
a product of superb quality and consistency.
A Unique Manufacturing Combination
 Sand
Cast Lead's advanced gas furnace, guarantees that
the lead is kept at the ideal temperature at all
times. The molten lead is ladled by hand (in the
time honoured tradition) into a mechanised Hopper,
which unlike hand-pulled Hoppers, ensures that
the speed of lead flowing down the sand bed is
identical every time. This helps ensure that the
lead produced is of a consistent thickness, quality
and finish. Age old skills combined with modern
technology guarantee top quality lead time and
time again.
A Measure of Success
All lead produced by Sand Cast Lead (UK) is
weighed, measured and code graded using the very
latest digital computerised technology available
in the industry today. Sand Cast Lead (UK) has
a unique place within this specialised field.
Successfully mating traditional skills and advanced
technology, the company is able to produce a traditional
product of superb quality. Due to modern technology
we are able to reduce the cost of the product,
thereby expelling the notion that sand cast lead
is too expensive to purchase for other than the
most prestigious of projects.
