This beaded 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 beaded 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/HRB is a cast iron beaded half round gutter repair bracket designed to re-support a beaded gutter run where an existing bracket has failed, corroded, or been removed. The repair bracket cup is shaped specifically for the beaded half round profile — the traditional guttering system across Scotland and northern England — ensuring correct seating without modification to the gutter itself.
The bracket features a threaded adjustable rise and fall cup in galv/zinc finish, allowing the gutter to be set precisely to match the existing fall on the surrounding run. This is particularly valuable on older Scottish and northern English properties where original bracket spacing or height is uneven, and on listed buildings where minimal intervention to the guttering is a conservation requirement.
Available in four sizes to suit the full beaded half round range: 4″, 4.5″, 5″, and 6″. Also compatible with beaded 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 — important on older Scottish buildings where the original supplier may no longer be identifiable.
Suited to maintenance contractors, conservation surveyors, local authority property managers, and owners of listed buildings in Scotland and the north of England. A single REP/HRB bracket restores a failed fixing point without disrupting the surrounding run.
Compatibility: Beaded half round cast iron gutter 4″, 4.5″, 5″, and 6″. Also suits Alumasc, Hargreaves, and Saint Gobain Classical beaded profiles. For repair specifications, call 0333 987 4452.

Yes. Cast iron airbricks are the appropriate material for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the original ventilation grilles were cast iron. They maintain the character and material authenticity required by most conservation officers and listed building consent conditions. We recommend confirming the specific pattern with your conservation officer before ordering.
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.
Yes. Polished brass ironmongery is historically appropriate for period buildings and is generally acceptable to conservation officers for listed building projects. If you require confirmation for your specific scheme, we are happy to advise — call 0333 987 4452.

The drainage and guttering market has matured considerably over the past 20 years and there are now many more product choices for consumers to consider.
Despite the influx of new materials it appears that the benchmark for rainwater systems is still cast iron. Cast iron rainwater goods were introduced in the late 18th Century as an alternative to lead. 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.
It is easy to forget about your rainwater system but it does need to be maintained and inspected at least twice a year regardless of the product material. It does not matter whether the property is hundreds of years old or brand new, the message is the same; ‘maintaining your rainwater system contributes to the external appearance of the building as well as keeping it free from damp and structural damage.
