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.

Tuscan Foundry's cast iron hopper heads are available in Standard Black and Heritage Colour finishes. A linseed oil paint finish is also offered — a sustainable, vapour-permeable option particularly appropriate for listed buildings and conservation projects. Heritage colour swatches are available from the team on request.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, semi-detached properties, public houses, agricultural buildings, and workshop structures where the original airbrick was a louvre-face grille. The horizontal fin profile is widely found in British domestic and light industrial construction from the 1870s through to the 1950s.
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 Brass Rooflight Opener Handle 1520mm is a pole-operated handle designed for manual rooflight opening mechanisms. It is suitable for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights, and is particularly appropriate for period and heritage properties where a brass finish is specified.
Cast iron radiators cost no more to run than modern steel or aluminium radiators. Cast iron is a very efficient material at emitting heat, thus you have items like le creuset cast iron pans. Cast iron holds it’s heat extremly well, which means that the radiators stay warm for longer.
The Brass Rooflight Hand Winder Opener – Telescopic is available in 150mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes. The telescopic mechanism provides flexibility to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. Throw: 165mm.
A hit and miss vent has a sliding plate on the back of the grille that can be opened, partially restricted, or closed entirely without removing the vent from the wall. This allows airflow to be controlled from inside the building, making it suitable for underfloor void ventilation and through-wall ventilation where adjustable airflow is needed.
