The Bankside No.55 is a plain rectangular head with a cast side boss — a straightforward, well-proportioned casting for straightforward positions.
The form is a simple box, slightly tapered towards the outlet, with flat faces and a plain top edge. The side boss takes the wall fixing and gives the casting its one point of relief. There is no cornice or ornament.
Patterns of this kind account for a great deal of surviving historic rainwater goods, and they are what most buildings actually had. Where an original hopper has failed and the evidence shows nothing more elaborate, replacing like with like in the same material is both the correct conservation decision and the one least likely to require consent. A decorated replacement, however handsome, introduces something that was never there.
It suits period domestic work, terraces, estate and agricultural buildings, and service and rear elevations throughout.
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.
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 recommend confirming with your conservation officer. Call 0333 987 4452.

A corner hopper head collects rainwater from two gutters running at right angles and channels it into a single downpipe. They are typically required at internal roof valleys, on hipped roofs, and wherever two runs of gutter converge at a corner. The Regent H1A is designed specifically for this application and is sized to suit the most common gutter profiles.
The Brass Rooflight Pole Winder Opener 300mm is a screw-jack operated rooflight opener designed for manual control of timber-framed skylights and Lumen Rooflights. The 300mm fixed arm is suited to standard rooflight positions and is finished in polished brass.
The in-house Premier Extra coating is formulated for a life expectancy of around 10 years under normal weather conditions, provided any impact damage or surface scuffing is made good promptly. Coastal locations or higher pollution levels can shorten this, so it's worth asking your local stockist or paint manufacturer for site-specific advice.
The H534 measures 430mm wide x 240mm deep x 366mm high, making it well suited to Victorian villas and townhouses.
The H530 measures 330mm wide x 150mm deep x 350mm high, making it well suited to Georgian and Victorian terraces, where a compact, narrow footprint is needed.
