A genuine half-round beaded cast iron rainwater system with double beading.
The beaded half round cast iron gutter is the traditional profile for Scotland and the north of England. The distinctive double bead running along both lips of the gutter section is the defining characteristic of the beaded profile — a regional standard seen on Edinburgh tenements, Glasgow Victorian terraces, Aberdeen granite buildings, and institutional architecture across the central belt and beyond. Where a plain half round gutter would look incorrect on a Scottish or northern English property, the beaded profile is the heritage-accurate replacement.
Manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460:2002, this section is 1829mm in length and available in four sizes to suit the full range of period buildings: 100mm (4″), 115mm (4.5″), 125mm (5″), and 150mm (6″). Supplied in primed or factory black finish as standard. The socket-and-spigot joint allows sections to connect cleanly in a run, secured with union clips and sealed with jointing compound for a watertight installation.
Suitable for all grades of listed building and accepted by Historic Environment Scotland and conservation officers across Scotland and northern England as the correct material for heritage rainwater work. Compatible with the full range of beaded half round fittings: 90 degree angles, 135 degree angles, nozzle outlets, drop ends, stop ends, and union clips, all available from Tuscan Foundry Products.
Cast iron outlasts uPVC by decades. Correctly maintained with paint, a beaded cast iron gutter system will perform for 50 to 100 years and more — a specification choice that protects the building and satisfies the conservation brief.
Part codes: HB4001, HB4501, HB5001, HB6001, XHB4001, XHB4501, XHB5001, XHB6001, G820. For specification support or a project quotation, call 0333 987 4452.

A pole winder opener has a fixed-length arm, making it suited to standard rooflight positions with a consistent throw. A telescopic opener has an adjustable shaft, allowing it to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. For guidance on which suits your project, call 0333 987 4452.
The Polished Lacquered finish suits buildings where period ironwork was finished bright rather than painted — formal entrance elevations, listed properties, and settings where the grille contributes to the decorative programme of the facade. It is appropriate for conservation specifications and high-specification heritage new build.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
The Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vents are available in two sizes: 225mm × 82mm (single-course, suitable for standard airbrick positions) and 225mm × 150mm (double-course format). Both sizes are available in all three finishes: Antique Black, Polished Lacquered, and Polished Brass.
We do offer a range of Ogee patterned gutters in both straight and radius profiles. The straight profiles are much more common and as such cost less.
The Antique Black cast iron version is suitable for external use. The Polished Lacquered version is best suited to interiors or sheltered external locations where the polished finish will be protected from weathering. The Polished Brass version is suited to interior and semi-exposed locations. For external applications on exposed elevations, the Antique Black finish is the recommended specification.
Yes. Decorative cast iron and brass ventilation grilles of this pattern were widely used in Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and like-for-like replacements are generally accepted by conservation officers for listed building works. We can provide product specifications and material details to support listed building consent applications if required.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick (F020802AFC) is available in 225mm × 75mm, 225mm × 150mm, and 225mm × 225mm — standard brick course heights. All sizes share a consistent depth for straightforward like-for-like replacement of original cast iron louvre airbricks.
Prices vary depending on size and finish. To get a quotation, please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on the Tuscan Foundry website. The team can advise on the right specification for your project and provide a written quote.
