The Saxby Cast Iron Hopper Head No.1 is one of the most recognisable forms in the traditional rainwater catalogue — a wide-shouldered, multi-faceted body that narrows dramatically to a slender outlet, with the kind of confident silhouette you see on Victorian terraces, civic buildings, and well-detailed country houses across the UK.
The Saxby No.2 is cast with a flat back for wall mounting, with integral fixing holes, and offered in three pipe sizes: 65mm (2.5″), 75mm (3″), and 100mm (4″). At its largest — for 100mm pipe — the unit measures 355mm wide by 230mm deep and 240mm high, making it a substantial and visually authoritative component on larger drainage runs. The smaller 65mm and 75mm variants share the same 305mm width and 197mm depth, appropriate for secondary stacks, outbuildings, and properties where the downpipe run is lighter.
The multi-faceted tapering body is the defining characteristic of this hopper: it gives the No.2 depth and shadow without relying on applied ornament. On Victorian townhouses, listed commercial properties, and Gothic-influenced ecclesiastical buildings, this form reads as period-accurate and architecturally coherent.
Manufactured to order in solid cast iron in the UK. Available in Standard Black and Heritage Colour finishes, with a linseed oil paint option for conservation and listed building projects.
Pipe connections: Round 65mm, 75mm, 100mm, 150mm.

Georgian properties typically used Half Round or ogee-style guttering, often in larger sizes to handle the roof areas of substantial period buildings. Large sand cast gutter profiles are appropriate for grander Georgian architecture, particularly country houses, institutions, and formal terraces. If the original guttering has been lost or damaged, a site survey can establish the most appropriate profile from the building

We are able to place dates and initials and insignia onto most of our flat faced rainwater hopper heads.
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.
Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically correct choice for listed and period buildings, and a like-for-like cast iron replacement is generally accepted without objection by conservation officers. We manufacture to BS 460 for genuine heritage character and durability.

A corner hopper head collects rainwater from two gutters running at right angles and channels it into a single downpipe. They are typically required at internal roof valleys, on hipped roofs, and wherever two runs of gutter converge at a corner. The Regent H1A is designed specifically for this application and is sized to suit the most common gutter profiles.
Hopper heads are supplied in red oxide primer ready for on-site painting, or pre-finished in black. A full range of Heritage Colours in traditional linseed oil paint is also available on request — please contact us for the swatch chart.
The H525 measures 270mm wide x 208mm deep x 285mm high, making it well suited to smaller period properties, extensions and outbuildings.
