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.

Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for use on all listed building classes. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
The physical properties of cast iron are sustained throughout its working life, so with proper maintenance we'd expect our gutters and pipes to last over 100 years under normal conditions.
Our bespoke rise and fall gutter brackets — including fascia, side rafter, and top rafter variants for Osma Roofline and Osma SuperLine systems — are manufactured to order. The standard lead time is 10–14 working days from receipt of a confirmed order. If you have a programme deadline, please call us on 0333 987 4452 and we will advise on current availability.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available with 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round outlets, 75mm, 100mm and 125mm square outlets, and 100x75mm, 125x100mm and 150x125mm rectangular outlets, to match the downpipe already on site or specified for the project.
Victorian properties most commonly used Ogee (OG) gutter profiles, including the standard Cast Iron Ogee and the G46 Moulded Ogee. Half Round guttering was also widely used, particularly in the later Victorian period. The correct profile depends on what is already present on the building — we recommend inspecting any surviving sections and matching the profile, size, and socket direction exactly. We supply 19 standard gutter profiles and can copy-cast any non-standard profile from a drawing, photograph, or physical sample.
Hopper heads are supplied in red oxide primer ready for on-site painting, or pre-finished in black. A full range of Heritage Colours in traditional linseed oil paint is also available on request — please contact us for the swatch chart.
Half round gutter has a simple semicircular profile and is the most widely used pattern across all building types and periods. Ogee (OG) gutter has an S-shaped decorative profile, historically associated with Victorian and Edwardian properties. Moulded ogee profiles, such as the G46 and Regent No.16, have a more elaborate cross-section with additional mouldings and are typically found on larger or more architecturally significant buildings. The correct choice depends on what is already present on the building and any requirements set by a conservation officer.

Yes. Tuscan Foundry Products cast iron rainwater goods are manufactured to BS 460:2002, the British Standard specification for cast iron rainwater goods. BS 460 compliance is often required by conservation officers and heritage bodies when specifying rainwater systems for listed buildings and conservation area properties.
The H529 measures 430mm wide x 290mm deep x 540mm high, making it well suited to multi-storey Georgian and Victorian townhouses with a longer fall to the outlet.
