The Beauford No.510 is the widest and lowest pattern in our ornamental range, and the one specifiers reach for when a hopper needs to sit quietly beneath a deep eaves course rather than announce itself.
The casting takes the form of a long rectangular box. A run of finely spaced dentils is cast along the full length of the top cornice — the detail that gives the pattern its classical character and ties it visually to the mouldings of a Georgian or Regency elevation. The front face is divided by a central vertical rib into two flat panels, keeping the surface calm beneath the enriched cornice. Substantial eared fixing lugs project at both ends, drilled and ready to receive the wall fixings, and the outlet drops centrally from the underside.
The proportions are what make it useful. Where a tall hopper would crowd a shallow reveal or interrupt a string course, the Beauford spreads the same collection capacity horizontally and stays below the sightline. It suits terraced Georgian townhouses, Regency villas, estate buildings and any elevation where the architect wants the rainwater system to read as part of the cornice rather than as an applied fitting.
Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002 and supplied in primer or black as standard. Heritage colours and traditional linseed oil finishes are available on request — linseed being the preferred option on listed fabric for its breathability and long maintenance life.
Pipe connections: 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round; 75×75mm, 100×100mm and 125×125mm square; 100×75mm, 125×100mm and 150×125mm rectangular.
Suitable for listed buildings and conservation areas. Like-for-like replacement in the same material does not usually require Listed Building Consent, though we always recommend confirming with your conservation officer before works begin.

The Polished Lacquered finish suits buildings where period ironwork was finished bright rather than painted — formal entrance elevations, listed properties, and settings where the grille contributes to the decorative programme of the facade. It is appropriate for conservation specifications and high-specification heritage new build.
Yes. Cast iron is the material required by most conservation officers and listed building consents for the replacement or replication of traditional rainwater goods. Our hopper heads are produced in solid cast iron and we can assist with specification notes or material statements for planning purposes if required.
In most cases, replacing like-for-like cast iron guttering on a listed building does not require Listed Building Consent (LBC), provided the replacement matches the existing profile, material, and finish exactly. However, any change of material away from cast iron will almost always require consent. We recommend consulting your local conservation officer before proceeding, and we can provide specification documentation to support your application if required.
The H542A measures 240mm wide x 240mm deep x 290mm high, making it well suited to a compact square profile suited to smaller Georgian and Victorian properties, extensions and outbuildings.

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.
The H525 measures 270mm wide x 208mm deep x 285mm high, making it well suited to smaller period properties, extensions and outbuildings.
Our hopper heads are available with a wide range of pipe connections to suit round, square, and rectangular downpipes. The Calnethorpe No.11 accepts round 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm; square 75×75mm, 100×100mm, and 125×125mm; and rectangular 100×75mm, 125×100mm, and 150×100mm. Connection options vary by model — please contact us to confirm availability for your chosen hopper.
Yes. Cast iron airbricks are the appropriate material for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the original ventilation grilles were cast iron. They maintain the character and material authenticity required by most conservation officers and listed building consent conditions. We recommend confirming the specific pattern with your conservation officer before ordering.
The Antique Black finish suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war buildings where ventilation ironwork was painted rather than polished — estate houses, terrace housing, civic buildings, and rural properties. It is also correct for listed buildings and conservation area properties requiring like-for-like replacement of original ornamental cast iron vents.
