The Trantthorpe No.86 is unlike anything else we cast. Its upper body carries deep bands of raised studs — rows of heavy round bosses encircling the head — above a smooth conical taper that funnels to the outlet.
The studding reads as riveting, and that is precisely the association it carries: the language of structural ironwork, boilerplate and engineering rather than of domestic architecture. Cast deep and repeated in courses around the full circumference, it holds shadow from every angle and gives the casting a solidity that photographs particularly well.
That makes it a specialist choice, and a very good one on the right building. Industrial heritage conversions, mills and maltings, engine and pump houses, dock and railway architecture, breweries — buildings whose original ironwork was riveted and unapologetic. It also works on robust Romanesque and Norman Revival work, where the studding sits comfortably alongside chevron and billet ornament.
On a refined domestic elevation it would be entirely wrong, and a plain pattern is the correct specification.

Linseed oil paint is the most appropriate finish for cast iron guttering on listed and historic buildings. It is breathable, flexible, and penetrating — qualities that suit the movement characteristics of cast iron through seasonal temperature changes. Tuscan Foundry Products offers a curated range of heritage linseed oil colours. For modern applications, a high-quality exterior oil-based paint system over a metal primer is also acceptable.
Yes. Churches and ecclesiastical buildings are one of our most common project types. We regularly supply large sand cast gutters, rectangular and square downpipes, and bespoke hopper heads for church restorations. Many churches have non-standard profiles that require copy casting. We work directly with architects, church fabric advisors, and quinquennial inspection surveyors. Historic England and many Diocesan Advisory Committees specify cast iron as the appropriate material for listed ecclesiastical buildings.
Our standard spike or sturt length is 300mm (12″). Other sizes are available upon request.

The Ornamental Airbrick is most appropriate on Victorian Gothic buildings — churches, chapels, vicarages, almshouses, collegiate buildings, and high-specification estate architecture — where decorative ironwork was part of the original design. It suits listed building replacements in kind and heritage new build where period accuracy in detailing is expected.
