Aluminium Soakers?

[martyc]

Hi ther,
Been ringing around builders merchants here in search of some lead soakers(the dimension i require is 389*175)
However none of them appear to stock them...one crowd can have them made up alright but @ an added cost.

Most of them said they stock aluminium soakers...will these do?
Also the biggest size aluminum soaker seem s to be 330*330.

Do i need to make them up myself or is there another way?
Cheers,
Marty.

I'd use 180mm Code 3 and cut the length

Better again!
Actually for my cloaking im looking @ getting 18" lead and cutting in half to get 9" strips...4" over slate...4" upstand and an inch chase into wall...whats the best way to cut a roll lengthways?
Cheers,
Marty.
