Cast iron rainwater Head H529. Created using bespoke cast iron hopper pattern H529.
Cast iron leader heads for period, listed and traditional buildings.
(Bespoke cast iron rainwater heads and ornamental hoppers manufactured to order)
The Bamburgh No.529 is the banded member of our castellated group — the same crenellated top line as the Alnwick No.528, but with the body horizontally articulated rather than left plain.
A crenellated rim caps the casting. Beneath it the canted body is divided by raised horizontal mouldings into distinct registers, giving the head a layered, stepped appearance as it narrows towards the outlet. The banding catches light along its length, so the casting reads with more texture and more apparent depth than a plain-bodied head of the same size.
The pattern is drawn to accept a side outlet as well as a bottom one. That is a genuinely useful option on historic buildings, where the downpipe frequently cannot drop straight — a plinth, a string course, a buttress or a boundary wall gets in the way, and the pipe has to be taken off to one side before it can run down the elevation. Being able to specify that at the hopper, rather than solving it with offsets below, keeps the run cleaner and reduces the number of joints exposed to weather.
It suits Gothic Revival churches and chapels, Victorian institutional buildings, and any castellated or ecclesiastical scheme where the Alnwick is right in spirit but the elevation asks for more modelling.
Cast in solid iron to BS 460:2002 and supplied in primer or black as standard, with heritage colours and traditional linseed oil finishes available on request.
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. To confirm side outlet arrangements for your elevation, call 0333 987 4452.

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.
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.

Yes. Our telescopic screw-jack openers and pole-operated handles are compatible with Lumen Rooflight systems. They are also suitable for use with other timber-framed rooflights and skylights fitted with appropriate catches or stays. If you are unsure of compatibility, call us on 0333 987 4452 and we can advise.
The Regent H1 is well suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraces, listed commercial buildings, civic and institutional properties, and ecclesiastical buildings where a traditional funnel-form hopper is architecturally appropriate. Its multi-faceted tapering body reads as period-accurate on Gothic and classical building types alike, and it is a commonly specified choice for conservation and listed building projects across the UK.
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.
This opener is particularly well suited to period and heritage properties — Georgian and Victorian terraces, conservation area houses, traditional orangeries, and listed buildings where a brass finish is required to complement existing ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights.
