Albert- In the UK lead sheet is readily available from DIY stores as 'flashing' for roofs and for general roof repair work. Roofers will generally give away scrap pieces sufficient for a hundred or more seals. I punch seals from this. Lead sheet was also used extensively for covering the entire roofs of churches - and when scrap metal prices were as high as unemployment when I was a lad in east London it wasn't unknown for entire church roofs to be stripped overnight! Though never by a certain young stove enthusiast you'll be pleased to hear.
Colin.
