All FAQ
We have just purchased some cast iron radiators and they have a slightly uneven texture to the surface. What can we do about this.

We have just purchased some cast iron radiators and they have a slightly uneven texture to the surface. What can we do about this.

Casting of iron is an imperfect processs. It is possible with some cast iron radiators that you will get minor imperfections in the surface finish. When radiators are painted this will reduce and over the years every additional coat of paint applied will provide a smoother more equal finish.

What building types is the Ornamental Airbrick suited to?

What building types is the Ornamental Airbrick suited to?

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.

What building types is the Satin Chrome Rooflight Hand Winder Opener suited to?

What building types is the Satin Chrome Rooflight Hand Winder Opener suited to?

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.

Is a cast iron hopper head suitable for use on a listed building?

Is a cast iron hopper head suitable for use on a listed building?

Yes. Cast iron is the material required by most conservation officers and listed building consents for the replacement or replication of traditional rainwater goods. Our hopper heads are produced in solid cast iron and we can assist with specification notes or material statements for planning purposes if required.

Are hit and miss vents suitable for listed buildings?

Are hit and miss vents suitable for listed buildings?

Yes. Decorative cast iron and brass ventilation grilles of this pattern were widely used in Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and like-for-like replacements are generally accepted by conservation officers for listed building works. We can provide product specifications and material details to support listed building consent applications if required.

What is the advantage of a louvre-face airbrick over a square-grid pattern?

What is the advantage of a louvre-face airbrick over a square-grid pattern?

The louvre face provides directional airflow and offers some resistance to driven rain entering the subfloor void, making it a practical choice for exposed elevations or properties in areas with significant prevailing wind and rainfall. The square-grid (school board) pattern offers a larger open ventilation area but less weather protection.

What is the Brass Rooflight Opener Handle 1520mm used for?

What is the Brass Rooflight Opener Handle 1520mm used for?

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.

What finishes are available on your cast iron hopper heads?

What finishes are available on your cast iron hopper heads?

Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.

What pipe connection sizes does the Regent Cast Iron Hopper Head No.1 accept?

What pipe connection sizes does the Regent Cast Iron Hopper Head No.1 accept?

The H1 is available to accept round pipe connections in 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm diameters. The 65mm and 75mm variants measure 305mm wide by 197mm deep and 210mm high. The 100mm variant measures 355mm wide by 230mm deep and 240mm high. A 150mm connection option is also available — please contact the team for dimensions.

What is the difference between a pole winder opener and a telescopic opener?

What is the difference between a pole winder opener and a telescopic opener?

A pole winder opener has a fixed-length arm, making it suited to standard rooflight positions with a consistent throw. A telescopic opener has an adjustable shaft, allowing it to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. For guidance on which suits your project, call 0333 987 4452.
