Zinc plated coach screws in packs of 10.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The coach screw is a heavy-duty zinc-plated wood screw used to fix cast iron downpipe strap brackets and holderbats to timber — typically to rafter feet, roof boarding, timber-framed walls, or wooden soffits where a standard masonry fixing is not available or appropriate. The coarse thread and hexagonal head of the coach screw provide high pull-out resistance in timber and allow the fixing to be driven and tightened with a spanner or socket wrench rather than a screwdriver.
Supplied in packs of 10. Zinc-plated for outdoor corrosion resistance. Appropriate for use with cast iron downpipe brackets on period buildings where timber construction is the available fixing substrate. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically correct choice for listed and period buildings, and a like-for-like cast iron replacement is generally accepted without objection by conservation officers. We manufacture to BS 460 for genuine heritage character and durability.

Linseed oil paint is the most appropriate finish for cast iron guttering on listed and historic buildings. It is breathable, flexible, and penetrating — qualities that suit the movement characteristics of cast iron through seasonal temperature changes. Tuscan Foundry Products offers a curated range of heritage linseed oil colours. For modern applications, a high-quality exterior oil-based paint system over a metal primer is also acceptable.

The School Board Airbrick is suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, mid-century school buildings, civic halls, public baths, and converted institutional buildings.
