As an alternative method of jointing, without the use of a naked flame as in the traditional lead caulking method, we can provide the following cold jointing products:
• Caulking Cord
• CT1 black sealant
Step 1.
Centrally align the pipe spigot within the socket and wet the cord.
Step 2.
Caulk this into the socket up to 30mm from the top. This will centralise the pipes and provide a backing for the top 30mm of the joint.
Step 3.
Fill the top 30mm with CT1 black sealant, apply using a skeleton gun.
Step 4.
When filled, smooth off level with the top of the socket, to provide a sealed joint and neat appearance. No further painting will be required if the pipes are black.
CT1 can be over painted if the pipes are a different colour.
Note: Each joint of a 4” pipe will require approximately 4 metres of caulking cord and a quarter of a tube of CT1.
Estimate usage on smaller or larger diameters pro-rata to pipe diameter.
A typical fixing for eared soil pipes is 100mm large head pipenail, coach screws or other propriety fixing.
Fixing of uneared soil pipe is by a drive in spike.
Alternatively holderbats or earbands may be used for a moredecorative effect. All fixings are available from stock.

A deep dive into the history, common issues, and maintenance of cast iron rainwater goods, with a focus on traditional Scottish architecture; cast iron rainwater goods have been a staple of Scottish architecture for centuries, prized for their durability, strength, and aesthetic appeal. These qualities are particularly important in Scotland, where the weather can be harsh and unforgiving. They are a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of a bygone era, adding a touch of elegance and historical significance to buildings across the country.
Cast iron’s journey in Scottish architecture began in the 18th century. Its resilience and ability to withstand the challenging Scottish climate quickly gained popularity. The relatively low production cost of cast iron made it a popular choice for residential and commercial buildings, contributing to its widespread adoption.
The 19th century marked the pinnacle of cast iron rainwater goods in Scotland. This era saw the construction of magnificent Victorian buildings adorned with elaborate cast-iron rainwater systems, showcasing decorative hoppers, rhones (the Scottish term for gutters), and leader heads (downpipes). These features served a practical purpose, channelling rainwater away from the building and enhancing the architectural beauty of the structures.
