The steel holdfast is the traditional fixing for plain cast iron round downpipe: a spike driven or built into a mortar joint, with a collar that holds the pipe clear of the wall.
Fix a holdfast below the socket of each length so the joint is supported. Because the spike goes into the mortar rather than the face of the brick or stone, it avoids drilling historic masonry, and it can often reuse existing holdfast positions. Holding the pipe off the wall lets the back be painted and keeps it away from damp masonry.
Specify holdfasts for plain pipe runs on stone and brick buildings, particularly where historic holdfasts survive and the brief is like-for-like replacement. Use at least one per length, with additional holdfasts at offsets and on tall runs.
Sizes: 65mm (2½″), 75mm (3″) and 100mm (4″) diameter.
Made from steel and supplied primed or black painted, to match the finish of the pipework.
Suitable for listed buildings and conservation area work. For specification advice, a full schedule or a quotation, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form.

This opener is particularly well suited to period and heritage properties — Georgian and Victorian terraces, conservation area houses, traditional orangeries, and listed buildings where a brass finish is required to complement existing ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights.
The polished chrome telescopic rooflight hand winder opener is available in multiple sizes. The telescopic mechanism adjusts to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. For a full list of available sizes, visit tuscanfoundry.com or call 0333 987 4452.
Yes. The Brass Rooflight Pole Winder Opener 300mm is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights. If you have a specific rooflight model, call 0333 987 4452 to confirm compatibility before ordering.
The Regent H1 is well suited to Victorian and Edwardian terraces, listed commercial buildings, civic and institutional properties, and ecclesiastical buildings where a traditional funnel-form hopper is architecturally appropriate. Its multi-faceted tapering body reads as period-accurate on Gothic and classical building types alike, and it is a commonly specified choice for conservation and listed building projects across the UK.
The H541 measures 274mm wide x 130mm deep x 330mm high, making it well suited to a slender profile suited to narrow Georgian townhouses and terraces where space is limited.

The Gothic foliate tracery design of the Ornamental Airbrick provides a good free-flow ventilation area relative to its face size. The open area is comparable to other standard cast iron airbrick patterns. The visual density of the pattern at a distance reads as solid ironwork, which suits formal and decorative elevations without compromising subfloor ventilation effectiveness.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available with 65mm, 75mm and 100mm round outlets, 75mm, 100mm and 125mm square outlets, and 100x75mm, 125x100mm and 150x125mm rectangular outlets, to match the downpipe already on site or specified for the project.
