This deep half-round gutter repair bracket is designed for the easy repair of cast iron guttering. With a threaded adjustable rise and fall cup, you can adjust the bracket to the height required. Galv/Zinc finish.
Cast iron deep half-round guttering repair bracket is made in four sizes: 4″, 4.5″, 5″ and 6″ gutter profiles, and will also suit the profiles made by Alumasc, Hargreaves and Saint Gobain Classical rainwater systems.
The REP/DHR is a cast iron deep half round gutter repair bracket designed to re-support a gutter run where an existing bracket has failed, corroded, or been removed. Rather than replacing a complete gutter run, the REP/DHR allows a single failed fixing point to be restored quickly and accurately while leaving the surrounding installation undisturbed.
The bracket features a threaded adjustable rise and fall cup in a galv/zinc finish, allowing the gutter to be set precisely to match the existing fall on the run. This is particularly valuable on older installations where the original bracket positions are uneven, and on listed buildings where minimal intervention to the gutter system is a conservation requirement.
Available in four sizes to suit the full range of standard deep half round cast iron gutter profiles: 4″, 4.5″, 5″, and 6″. The REP/DHR is also compatible with deep half round profiles manufactured by Alumasc, Hargreaves, and Saint Gobain Classical, making it a practical repair solution across a wide range of existing installations regardless of original manufacturer.
Suited to maintenance contractors, conservation surveyors, and property managers responsible for heritage and listed buildings with cast iron deep half round guttering. A single bracket restores full function without the disruption of full resupport.
Compatibility: Cast iron deep half round gutter 4″, 4.5″, 5″, and 6″. Also suits Alumasc, Hargreaves, and Saint Gobain Classical deep half round profiles. For advice on repair specifications, call 0333 987 4452.

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.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building classes. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
The Antique Black finish suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war buildings where ventilation ironwork was painted rather than polished — estate houses, terrace housing, civic buildings, and rural properties. It is also correct for listed buildings and conservation area properties requiring like-for-like replacement of original ornamental cast iron vents.
The H460 is well suited to Georgian, Regency, and Victorian buildings where a plain, undecorated rectangular hopper is the appropriate choice — particularly listed properties, conservation area buildings, and institutional or commercial buildings in historic town centres. Its clean, restrained form makes it equally appropriate on modern heritage-style construction where period accuracy is required without ornamental detail.
Most old buildings have cast iron rainwater systems that should be maintained and preserved however; these inherent benefits make cast iron an ideal choice for both traditional and modern installations. It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience
As well as being easier to produce, the material enabled eaves gutters to be installed more simply, since lead could only be used in this location as a lining for timber gutters. Many modern materials focus on replicating the appearance of cast iron but those materials can vary rarely offer any of the benefits. Cast iron gutters and pipes offer great strength and durability, a proven history of long life, low noise operation and fire resistance.
Most old buildings have cast iron rainwater systems that should be maintained and preserved however; these inherent benefits make cast iron an ideal choice for both traditional and modern installations. It is not uncommon to see modern alternative products marketed with terms like low maintenance or easy to install and cost effective. It has even been said that ‘plastic guttering systems provide a way of achieving a traditional look with modern convenience’.
These terms tend to refer to possible cost savings rather than any real product benefits. It is also difficult to quantify the benefits of modern convenience over traditional build quality. It is worth remembering that all rainwater goods will require some element of maintaining to ensure they are unblocked by debris and remain functional. No rainwater system cleans itself.
Today most suppliers of cast iron rainwater systems offer products in both primer or pre-painted with a 10 year protective coating. When describing modern materials, the term ‘cost effective’ is used rather than simply saying cheap. There is no doubt that the initial cost of many modern materials is less than cast iron but you might be surprised to know that over its lifespan, cast iron will cost around a third of plastic.
