The Brass Rooflight Pole Winder Opener – 300mm is a screw-jack rooflight stay finished in polished brass, designed for manual operation of timber-framed rooflights and skylights. At 300mm in length with a 250mm throw, it provides a reliable and controlled opening movement suitable for a wide range of rooflight sizes and frame configurations.
The unit features a threaded screw-jack barrel, wall-mounted pivot bracket, and rooflight-fixing bracket, all in polished brass. The mechanism locks the rooflight securely at the desired opening position without requiring additional stays or restraints. Application is to timber frames; finish group is Brass.
Once almost exclusively associated with traditional conservatories, the screw-jack rooflight stay is now widely used across a broader range of building types, including Victorian and Edwardian extensions, heritage orangeries, barn conversions, and period houses where brass-finish ironmongery is consistent with the building’s character. It is a practical, long-lasting fitting that does not require maintenance beyond occasional light cleaning.

Yes. Cast iron hopper heads are the historically appropriate choice for listed buildings, and are generally preferred by conservation officers and local planning authorities over modern plastic alternatives. Tuscan Foundry cast iron hopper heads are manufactured in solid grey iron and are suitable for use on listed buildings and within conservation areas. A linseed oil finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for sensitive heritage projects.
Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a choice of finishes including primer, painted, and specialist heritage finishes. Please call us on 0333 987 4452 or submit an enquiry to discuss the right finish for your project.
Tuscan Foundry's cast iron hopper heads are available in Standard Black and Heritage Colour finishes. A linseed oil paint finish is also offered — a sustainable, vapour-permeable option particularly appropriate for listed buildings and conservation projects. Heritage colour swatches are available from the team on request.
The in-house Premier Extra coating is formulated for a life expectancy of around 10 years under normal weather conditions, provided any impact damage or surface scuffing is made good promptly. Coastal locations or higher pollution levels can shorten this, so it's worth asking your local stockist or paint manufacturer for site-specific advice.
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 Brass Rooflight Hand Winder Opener – Telescopic is available in 150mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes. The telescopic mechanism provides flexibility to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements. Throw: 165mm.

Linseed oil paint is the most appropriate finish for cast iron guttering on listed and historic buildings. It is breathable, flexible, and penetrating — qualities that suit the movement characteristics of cast iron through seasonal temperature changes. Tuscan Foundry Products offers a curated range of heritage linseed oil colours. For modern applications, a high-quality exterior oil-based paint system over a metal primer is also acceptable.
