How are your cast iron radiators priced?

How are your cast iron radiators priced?

Each radiator is priced by the number of sections, from 3 to 30, so you only pay for the length you need. Prices are shown on each product page, and delivery is a flat £95 plus VAT per radiator order. Please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form for a quotation.

Do you supply cast iron guttering for churches and ecclesiastical buildings?

Do you supply cast iron guttering for churches and ecclesiastical buildings?

Yes. Churches and ecclesiastical buildings are one of our most common project types. We regularly supply large sand cast gutters, rectangular and square downpipes, and bespoke hopper heads for church restorations. Many churches have non-standard profiles that require copy casting. We work directly with architects, church fabric advisors, and quinquennial inspection surveyors. Historic England and many Diocesan Advisory Committees specify cast iron as the appropriate material for listed ecclesiastical buildings.

A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.

How is cast iron soil pipe fixed to the wall?

How is cast iron soil pipe fixed to the wall?

Eared LCC pipe is fixed through ears cast on the socket. Plain LCC pipe is fixed with holdfasts driven into the mortar joint, screw-to-wall holderbats, build-in holderbats or loose ears. Fix every length below the socket so each joint is supported. Traditional Express uses adjustable brackets.

What is the lead time for bespoke cast iron guttering?

What is the lead time for bespoke cast iron guttering?

Bespoke and copy cast iron rainwater goods typically have a lead time of 12 to 14 weeks from order confirmation. This covers pattern-making, casting, finishing, and quality inspection. Stock items are typically despatched within 5 to 7 working days, and non-stock standard profiles within 7 to 10 working days. We always recommend confirming lead times at enquiry stage so your project programme is not affected.
