The Charton No.58 is a wide, shallow head with a sloping front and an integral back plate, drawn for positions where depth is limited and the fixing needs to be simple.
The front face slopes back from the open rim to a narrow base, the sides remain flat and plain, and the back plate is cast as part of the head so it beds directly against the wall. There is no cornice and no ornament. Everything about the casting is arranged to keep projection minimal while retaining useful capacity.
It earns its place in awkward positions: under a shallow eaves overhang, beneath a string course, on a rear elevation where a passage or a boundary wall runs close beneath, or on rubble masonry where a bracketed head would need packing to sit true.
It suits period domestic and estate buildings, agricultural and service ranges, and conservation schemes where the rainwater goods should be unobtrusive.
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. If the reveal is tight, send a section or photograph and we will confirm the fit. Call 0333 987 4452.

The Gothic foliate tracery design of the Ornamental Airbrick provides a good free-flow ventilation area relative to its face size. The open area is comparable to other standard cast iron airbrick patterns. The visual density of the pattern at a distance reads as solid ironwork, which suits formal and decorative elevations without compromising subfloor ventilation effectiveness.
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.
Cast iron hopper heads are priced on enquiry due to the range of connection and finish options available. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form and we will respond promptly with a quotation tailored to your project requirements.
The H534 measures 430mm wide x 240mm deep x 366mm high, making it well suited to Victorian villas and townhouses.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available with 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round outlets, 75mm, 100mm and 125mm square outlets, and 100x75mm, 125x100mm and 150x125mm rectangular outlets, to match the downpipe already on site or specified for the project.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Available in two sizes: 225mm x 82mm (single airbrick course height) and 225mm x 150mm (double course height). Both sizes fit standard brick coursing positions and install flush into the wall face.
