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.

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.

BTU stand’s for British Thermal Units. This was the old (Imperial) measurement for heat in connection with plumbing. Although BTU’s is a term still commonly used within the heating and plumbing, the industry is now going over to KW’s Kilowatts.
We manufacture a wide variety of brackets for many different cast iron gutter and pipe profiles. More common types are the rise and fall, top fix and side fix rafter and the holderbat or pipe clip.
We can also offer traditional drive brackets, repair brackets and fascia brackets in both steel and cast iron.
It is always advisable to replace like with like because quite often the brackets form and important part of the buildings architecture. Occasionally buildings have special decorative brackets and our UK manufacturing allows us to produce small quantities of bespoke brackets when required.
Georgian properties typically used Half Round or ogee-style guttering, often in larger sizes to handle the roof areas of substantial period buildings. Large sand cast gutter profiles are appropriate for grander Georgian architecture, particularly country houses, institutions, and formal terraces. If the original guttering has been lost or damaged, a site survey can establish the most appropriate profile from the building
The Gothic foliate tracery design of the Ornamental Airbrick provides a good free-flow ventilation area relative to its face size. The open area is comparable to other standard cast iron airbrick patterns. The visual density of the pattern at a distance reads as solid ironwork, which suits formal and decorative elevations without compromising subfloor ventilation effectiveness.

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.
