My company offers the only alternative to a felt roof which we can guarantee for 100 years+.
We offer a standing seam metal roof in either copper, zinc or stainless steel. This method is hundreds of years old and is seen on many important buildings all over the world. The only reason it isn't used more domestically is because the general public do not know enough about it.
It's not as expensive as lead and doesn't have the draw backs of lead (no steps or weight issues), you can buy it pre-weathered so the colour that it is when installed is the colour it stays. You can also fit the hard metal to evey part of the roof- soffit, fascia, flasings and even have the gutter and down pipes made from the same material with the same guarentee.
I hope this gives you something to think about.
Good luck whatever you decide.
