Finishes: supplied primed as standard, or factory black painted. Linseed oil paint finishes are available on request.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The plain round access pipe is a short cast iron pipe section with a bolted oval inspection door, for clearing leaves and debris from a downpipe without taking the run apart.
The door is cast to the curve of the pipe and bolted closed; bed it on a suitable sealant on assembly to keep the joint watertight. As a plain fitting it has no cast ears, so it suits runs fixed with holdfasts, screw-to-wall brackets or ornamental earbands. An eared version is also available.
Fit access pipes at the foot of a stack above the shoe or gully, directly above offsets and bends, and below hoppers on buildings close to trees. On listed buildings, providing access in the right places avoids the temptation to break joints or cut pipe to clear a blockage.
Sizes: 65mm (2½″), 75mm (3″) and 100mm (4″) diameter.
Cast in solid grey iron in the UK to BS 460, and supplied primed for site painting or factory black painted. Linseed oil paint finishes can be quoted on request.

The Paxton H82 is a large-format hopper with decorative collar mouldings, making it particularly well suited to late Victorian and Edwardian buildings where the rainwater system forms part of the architectural composition. Typical applications include commercial heritage buildings, civic buildings, large detached houses, institutional premises, and warehouse conversions where a more substantial fitting is appropriate.
Yes. Traditional cast iron column radiators are the authentic choice for period interiors, and plain patterns such as the Victorian 4 column are usually preferred by conservation officers. Replacing radiators or altering pipe runs in a listed building may need listed building consent, so speak to the conservation officer before work starts.
The Polished Lacquered finish suits buildings where period ironwork was finished bright rather than painted — formal entrance elevations, listed properties, and settings where the grille contributes to the decorative programme of the facade. It is appropriate for conservation specifications and high-specification heritage new build.
Yes. The polished chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder opener is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights. Call 0333 987 4452 to confirm compatibility with a specific rooflight model.
