The only supplier I've found online so far is metaloffcuts.co.uk and it looks like they sell 0.8mm or 1.0mm zinc for about £40-£50 per sqm.

Am I likely to be able to do better than that, does anyone know? Any tips for suppliers?

Is there any point approaching scrap dealers?]]> Buying zinc sheet https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149663#Comment_149663 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149663#Comment_149663 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 08:56:39 +0100 JSHarris ]]> Buying zinc sheet https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149664#Comment_149664 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149664#Comment_149664 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 08:57:42 +0100 Cav8andrew haven't looked at costs so not sure if competitive.]]> Buying zinc sheet https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149665#Comment_149665 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149665#Comment_149665 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 09:15:44 +0100 SteamyTea Buying zinc sheet https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149677#Comment_149677 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149677#Comment_149677 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:16:21 +0100 lineweight Posted By: Cav8andrewmetalsheets.co.uk

They're actually the same operation as the website I mentioned in my first post.]]> Buying zinc sheet https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149678#Comment_149678 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9247&Focus=149678#Comment_149678 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:23:31 +0100 lineweight Posted By: JSHarris contact a zinc roofing company and ask if they will sell you some sheet off the roll (if the rolls are wide enough)

Will roofing companies tend to have plain natural zinc though (as opposed to the various pre-patinated varieties that are commonly used)?]]>
