A genuine cast iron rainwater pattern orignally used in and around Nottingham, hence Notts Ogee. The profile is only available in the one size (4.5″) and has a flat base unlike the more traditional ogee (OG) curved pattern.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The cast iron Notts OG drop end provides a downpipe outlet at the end of a Notts Ogee gutter run, used where the run terminates and drainage drops to a downpipe from the end section rather than a central nozzle outlet. The asymmetric front face of the Notts OG is maintained through the fitting, completing the installation consistently on period properties in Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.
As with all Notts OG fittings, the drop end is handed — internal and external variants exist, and the asymmetric profile cannot be reversed or flipped to suit a different configuration. Always confirm the correct variant before ordering.
Manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460:2002. Single size 115mm (4.5″). Supplied in primed or factory black finish. Specified on listed buildings and heritage restoration projects throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and the wider East Midlands where the Notts OG is the historically correct profile.
Compatibility: Notts OG cast iron gutter 115mm (4.5″) only. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

The Ornamental Airbrick is suited to Victorian villas, bay-fronted terraces, Gothic Revival institutional buildings, church halls, and civic buildings where decorative ironwork is part of the architectural language. It is also appropriate for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the airbrick is on a prominent elevation and the ventilation grille is expected to carry decorative character.
Our brackets are more commonly used on cast iron rainwater systems. Unlike plastic, cast iron is heavy and the weight keeps the gutter in position. As such our brackets do not normally have retaining clips which could lead to plastic or lightweight gutters blowing out of the bracket. The profile of your gutter should match that of our bracket but without the weight to keep it in place you may well encounter problems in bad weather.
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.
Yes. Cast iron airbricks are frequently specified for listed buildings and conservation area properties precisely because they replicate the material and pattern of the original Victorian and Edwardian ventilation grilles. Local conservation officers and building control typically accept like-for-like cast iron replacements without objection. We can provide product specifications and material datasheets to support applications.
