We are able to supply a sample of our Notts Og gutter for checking before your purchase.
The Notts OG gutter sample section allows you to verify the profile, finish, socket dimensions, and material quality before committing to a full specification. Because the Notts OG is a regionally specific asymmetric profile, ordering a sample is particularly valuable where an existing installation needs matching — the profile cannot be confirmed from photographs alone, and a direct comparison against the surviving gutter section is the most reliable way to ensure compatibility.
The Notts OG is found predominantly on Victorian properties in Nottingham and the East Midlands, but also appeared on period buildings throughout Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and parts of the wider Midlands. If you are unsure whether your existing gutter is the Notts OG or the common OG, a sample comparison is the recommended approach before ordering a full replacement run.
Supplied as a short section in factory black finish. For a full quotation or specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

Yes. All our mild steel brackets are supplied in either silver or black zinc plate. This coating protects the metal however, both will need painting prior to installation.

Where a standard profile can't match an existing design, we offer a bespoke casting service in association with our pattern makers, typically with an 8–10 week lead time. Please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form to discuss your project.
The School Board Airbrick is suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, mid-century school buildings, civic halls, public baths, and converted institutional buildings.
