The Chrome (Satin) Rooflight Hand Winder Opener – Telescopic is a screw-jack operated rooflight opener finished in satin chrome. Designed for timber-framed rooflights and skylights, it delivers smooth, controlled ventilation with a contemporary brushed finish that complements modern kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces as readily as it suits traditional interiors. Available in 150mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes to accommodate varying rooflight positions.
The unit features a threaded screw-jack barrel and a right-angle crank handle in satin chrome, with a telescopic shaft for positioning flexibility. It is straightforward to fit, secure in operation, and locks the rooflight at the chosen opening position without drift. Throw: 160mm. Suitable for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights.
Commonly specified for conservatories and orangeries, this opener is equally well suited to kitchen extensions, garden rooms, and loft conversions where a rooflight positioned above a worktop or sink requires simple, safe operation from below. The satin chrome finish coordinates naturally with contemporary hardware and sanitary fittings.
Available in three sizes. For advice on sizing or compatibility, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on our website.

Our cast iron hopper heads are available in a standard primed and black-painted finish, ready for on-site topcoats. Heritage colour finishes and factory-applied linseed oil paint are available on request. Linseed oil paint is a vapour-permeable, period-appropriate finish particularly well suited to listed buildings and conservation area properties.
Yes. The Louvre Airbrick is dimensioned to standard brick course openings and is suitable for direct replacement of worn, broken, or missing original cast iron louvre grilles. If you are unsure of the size required, measure the opening in the brickwork rather than the existing damaged grille.
Please call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form with the size, quantity and connection details, and we'll provide a quotation.
The right size depends on the width of your gutter run and the volume of water you need to collect. The Strayton H42A is available in four widths: 305mm (12"), 355mm (14"), 457mm (18"), and 610mm (24"). As a general guide, wider hoppers suit larger roof areas and heavier rainfall zones. If you are unsure, our team can advise based on your gutter profile and catchment area — call 0333 987 4452.
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.
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.
Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for use on all listed building classes. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
With National Maintenance week fast approaching (18th – 25th November 2011), Tuscan Foundry Products Ltd have decided to help period property owners look after rainwater systems by offering big discounts on selected cast iron gutters, pipes and fittings.
Friday 25th November is designated as National Gutters Day and on this particular day, homeowners are encouraged to check their systems for evidence of damage. Repairing sections of damaged cast iron gutter and pipe can help avoid potentially thousands of pounds of damage to brickwork.
Tuscan is offering these savings across a range of profiles and includes both primer and painted stock. The offers will only be available whilst stocks last so visit our website to view our discounted cast iron rainwater goods today.

Yes. Bespoke copy casting is a core service at Tuscan Foundry Products. We can replicate any cast iron gutter, downpipe, hopper head, or fitting from drawings, detailed photographs, or a physical sample or surviving section. Each commission is assessed individually. Lead time is typically 8 to 10 weeks, and quantities as low as a single piece can be considered depending on pattern-making costs.
