A genuine cast iron rainwater pattern was initially used in and around Nottingham, hence Notts Ogee. The profile is only available in one size (4.5″) and has a flat base, unlike the more traditional ogee (OG) curved pattern.
Cast iron Notts Og guttering: G850
The Notts OG is a cast iron gutter profile with a specific regional identity. Originally developed for and used predominantly in Nottingham and the surrounding East Midlands, it takes its name from its place of origin. The profile shares the ogee family’s characteristic decorative front face but has a more angular, squared-off cross-section compared to the common OG, with a flat base rather than the curved bottom of the standard ogee. This gives the Notts OG both its distinctive silhouette and a greater depth of section relative to its width, increasing flow capacity while maintaining the visual character of a traditional Victorian ogee gutter.
The Notts OG is available in a single size only: 4.5″ (115mm). It is an asymmetric profile — the socket sits consistently on one side of each section and fitting — which means all angles, stop ends, and outlets are handed and cannot be reversed or flipped. Each section has pre-drilled holes in the back face, allowing direct fixing through the gutter back to the fascia without a separate bracket where the construction permits.
This section is 1829mm (6 feet) in length, manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460:2002. Supplied in primed or factory black finish. Tuscan Foundry Products has been casting this profile since 1893, and it remains the correct heritage-accurate replacement for Nottinghamshire and Midlands properties where the Notts OG is the original installed profile.
Found on Victorian terraced housing, lace-era factory buildings, civic architecture, churches, and period commercial properties throughout Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, and the wider East Midlands. Listed buildings in these areas are typically required to replace like-for-like, making the Notts OG the only appropriate specification where it is the original profile.

The H541 measures 274mm wide x 130mm deep x 330mm high, making it well suited to a slender profile suited to narrow Georgian townhouses and terraces where space is limited.
With National Maintenance week fast approaching (18th – 25th November 2011), Tuscan Foundry Products Ltd have decided to help period property owners look after rainwater systems by offering big discounts on selected cast iron gutters, pipes and fittings.
Friday 25th November is designated as National Gutters Day and on this particular day, homeowners are encouraged to check their systems for evidence of damage. Repairing sections of damaged cast iron gutter and pipe can help avoid potentially thousands of pounds of damage to brickwork.
Tuscan is offering these savings across a range of profiles and includes both primer and painted stock. The offers will only be available whilst stocks last so visit our website to view our discounted cast iron rainwater goods today.

The satin chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder is well suited to contemporary and transitional interiors where a brushed chrome finish complements modern or minimal ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and timber-framed skylights.
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.
Polished chrome has a bright mirror finish, while satin chrome has a brushed, low-sheen appearance. Both are available in the telescopic hand winder range. The finish choice typically depends on the ironmongery specification for the project.
