This Lead Patination Oil is an expert choice for maintaining the pristine look of your lead sheet and flashings. Designed in collaboration with the Lead Sheet Association by Calder, this 1-litre container covers approximately 60m², providing you with ample coverage for your project.
In damp conditions, new lead often develops a powdery white coating of lead carbonate, marring the aesthetic appeal. This Patination Oil, specially made for the industry, is the solution. It not only minimises the formation of unwanted carbonate but also enhances the overall appearance of your lead sheet, deterring unsightly staining caused by uneven patina formation and ensuring a beautiful finish that lasts.
This Patination Oil also contributes to a hygienic job site and allows you to benefit from a consistent and attractive patina before and after its final formation.

Question:
The oldish lead on my house has been cleaned up using a mild scouring pad to remove paint splashes and other staining. Is your patination oil suitable to use on this and will it help to achieve a newer look or is it more suited to new lead? Thanks.
Answer:
Our Lead Patination Oil is specifically designed to impart a pleasing appearance to lead surfaces and is certainly suitable for the scenario you described. It's not just for new lead, you can indeed apply it to cleaned-up existing lead to help achieve a refreshed look. This product not only enhances the appearance, but also minimises unsightly staining, which can be especially beneficial after a clean-up process. As always, for the best results, be sure to follow the application instructions provided with the product.
Question:
Can this be used on old lead?
Answer:
Yes it will polish up old lead but it would need cleaning first
Question:
My glass conservatory roof has lead flashing as a seal against the wall of my house. Over the years a white deposit built up on the windows. The installation company identified the problem and, as it was still under guarantee, they replaced the affected windows. The white deposit is now starting to return after about 3 years. Would an application of patination oil to the lead be of benefit at this stage to limit any further discolouration?
Answer:
Unfortunately the patination oil only helps if applied when the lead is installed to prevent discoloration. I am afraid it will not help in a situation like this where it has already discoloured.
