Short answer: A roof replacement produces roofing iron or steel sheet, ridge capping, flashings that may be copper, lead, aluminium or steel, gutters and downpipes in steel, aluminium or copper and fixings, so the roofing iron is the bulk and the flashings and gutters are the valuable extras, but older roofs and walls must be checked for asbestos before they are cut or removed.

Roofing iron is heavy and adds up quickly when sold by weight.
Flashings and gutters
These can be copper, lead or aluminium, and are worth keeping separate from steel.
Check the age
Older sheeting and linings may contain asbestos and need specialist handling.
