The TFH3A is a large sand cast double beaded deep half round gutter. The double bead along both lips of the profile adds decorative detail to the substantial deep half round form, making the TFH3A the appropriate specification where a larger-than-stock beaded profile is required — on Victorian and Edwardian institutional buildings, civic architecture, large churches, country houses, and any heritage building where the scale of the roof demands a large-format beaded system that standard stock sizes cannot accommodate.
The double bead replicates the traditional beaded half round aesthetic familiar from Scottish and northern English architecture, scaled up for buildings where standard 100–150mm beaded gutters are insufficient. It is the go-to profile for larger conservation projects in regions where beaded guttering is the standard historic specification.
Available in three sizes: 125×100mm, 150×100mm, and 200×100mm. Sand cast iron, manufactured to BS 460:2002. Supplied in grey primer or black painted finish. A full range of fittings, angles, and brackets can be supplied — contact Tuscan Foundry Products to discuss your project.
Suitable for: Large churches, civic buildings, country houses, institutional architecture, large Scottish and northern English heritage buildings. Call for price: 0333 987 4452.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Cast iron airbricks are the appropriate material for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the original ventilation grilles were cast iron. They maintain the character and material authenticity required by most conservation officers and listed building consent conditions. We recommend confirming the specific pattern with your conservation officer before ordering.

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
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.
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.
