Key features are as follows:
Cast Iron is an exceptionally strong and durable material - many original installations from the Victorian era are still in existence in the UK, particularly around London and the north of England. When correctly maintained, it will outlast all rival products that are made from other materials.
As Cast Iron is synonymous with tradition, it lends itself exceptionally well to period style properties from one-off houses to Victorian-style terraces. It is also the first choice of guttering material for listed buildings, so much so that many planning officers will not accept any substitute materials. As iron is a natural material it is also totally recyclable - combine this fact with the tremendously long lifespan of this material and cast iron can rightly be viewed as a very green material.

When connecting to other existing Cast Iron systems, the method of jointing on the old system needs to be checked, as some original castings had external joints and some were internal. If in any doubt, email us an image of the joint and include the sizes and we will advise you on the best way of making the joint.
Most PVC Gutter manufacturers include adaptors to half round cast iron as a standard part of their range. These adaptors usually feature a rubber seal that is compressed to make a watertight joint by tightening a PVC strap, usually with a nut and bolt assembly. Adaptors to Cast Iron Ogee are also available, these connect the metal to the PVC gutter via a nut and bolt through the actual gutter section and utilise silicone sealant to make the joint.
All Gutter Supplies Cast Iron Gutters and Downpipes are supplied in 1830mm lengths, with pre-drilled holes that allow nut, bolt and silicone fixing.

Our Cast Iron Gutter systems do require some ongoing maintenance. This maintenance is very straightforward and uncomplicated and is only needed once a year.
Alongside the most common and popular black, we also offer all of our cast iron gutter profiles in a primer coating option. This primer provides a surface to which paints can easily adhere, allowing these gutters to be coated with any colour of paint, provided that the type of paint chosen will not cause damage to the initial primer coating. There are a few other precautions that must be taken when purchasing and installing primed guttering, please see our full guide for more information.
