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 opener is designed for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights. The telescopic shaft and adjustable mounting bracket allow it to be fitted to a range of rooflight frames. If you have a specific rooflight model, call us on 0333 987 4452 to confirm compatibility.
The School Board Airbrick is suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, mid-century school buildings, civic halls, public baths, and converted institutional buildings. Its plain square-grid face matches the utilitarian aesthetic of late-Victorian construction and is also appropriate for new heritage-style builds in conservation areas.
The Polished Brass finish suits buildings where brass metalwork was standard — formal Victorian terrace housing, civic and institutional buildings, and high-quality estate architecture. It is appropriate on listed buildings and conservation properties where the wider ironmongery specification is in brass and a matching material is required.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war residential and commercial properties where the louvre-pattern vent was the standard specification. It is the correct like-for-like replacement on listed buildings and conservation area properties, and suits new heritage-style construction requiring an authentic period ventilation grille.
Most old buildings have cast iron rainwater systems that should be maintained and preserved however; these inherent benefits make cast iron an ideal choice for both traditional and modern installations. It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience
As well as being easier to produce, the material enabled eaves gutters to be installed more simply, since lead could only be used in this location as a lining for timber gutters. Many modern materials focus on replicating the appearance of cast iron but those materials can vary rarely offer any of the benefits. Cast iron gutters and pipes offer great strength and durability, a proven history of long life, low noise operation and fire resistance.

It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience’.
These terms tend to refer to possible cost savings rather than any real product benefits. It is also difficult to quantify the benefits of modern convenience over traditional build quality. It is worth remembering that all rainwater goods will require some element of maintaining to ensure they are unblocked by debris and remain functional. No rainwater system cleans itself.
Today most suppliers of cast iron rainwater systems offer products in both primer or pre-painted with a 10 year protective coating. When describing modern materials, the term ‘cost effective’ is used rather than simply saying cheap. There is no doubt that the initial cost of many modern materials is less than cast iron but you might be surprised to know that over its lifespan, cast iron will cost around a third of plastic.
The Iron Works Patterned Hit & Miss Vent suits Victorian and Edwardian buildings where decorative cast iron or brass ventilation grilles were part of the original specification — including terrace houses, civic buildings, churches, entrance halls, and estate properties. It is appropriate on listed buildings and conservation area properties as a like-for-like decorative vent replacement, and on new heritage-quality construction where period detailing is required.
Cast iron radiators cost no more to run than modern steel or aluminium radiators. Cast iron is a very efficient material at emitting heat, thus you have items like le creuset cast iron pans. Cast iron holds it’s heat extremly well, which means that the radiators stay warm for longer.
The H1A is available with round pipe connections in 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm diameters. Please specify your required connection size when ordering, as this determines the SKU. If you are unsure of the correct pipe size for your project, our team can advise — call 0333 987 4452.
Yes. The Brass Rooflight Pole Winder Opener 300mm is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights. If you have a specific rooflight model, call 0333 987 4452 to confirm compatibility before ordering.
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.
