The Trenton No.12 is a plain square head with an unusually deep taper — a long, clean sweep from a generous open rim down to the outlet, with no ornament at any point.
The depth is the point. It gives the casting real capacity for a modest footprint, and it keeps the water surface well below the rim in heavy rain, which is what prevents overflow running down the wall face. Cast lugs at the sides take the fixings; the top edge is left plain.
Simplicity like this is often exactly what the evidence supports. Where an original hopper has failed and nothing survives to suggest decoration, a plain deep head is the honest replacement — and the deep taper means it handles a larger roof area than its width would suggest, which is useful where the original was undersized.
It suits period domestic buildings, estate and agricultural ranges, terraces, and service elevations of every period.
Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002, supplied in primer or black as standard, with heritage colours and traditional linseed oil finishes available on request.

Yes. Polished brass ironmongery is historically appropriate for period buildings and is generally acceptable to conservation officers for listed building projects. If you require confirmation for your specific scheme, we are happy to advise — 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.
We have chosen to use zinc plating for two reasons; firstly that it is a more environmentally friendly than galvanising and secondly that it does not block up the threaded part of the rise and fall cups in the way that galvanising does.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings.

A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
Prices vary depending on size and finish. To get a quotation, please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on the Tuscan Foundry website. The team can advise on the right specification for your project and provide a written quote.
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.
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.
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.
