The wooden pipe bobbin spacer is used to hold a cast iron downpipe away from the wall surface at a controlled distance of 40mm. The bobbin is fixed to the wall and the pipe sits within or against it, creating a consistent and stable standoff along the full length of the pipe run. This standoff allows air to circulate behind the pipe, reducing the risk of damp penetration, condensation, and the accelerated corrosion that can occur when a cast iron pipe sits directly in contact with a masonry wall.
A practical maintenance and conservation detail on period and listed buildings — ensuring the downpipe runs clear of the wall face extends the life of both the pipe and the masonry behind it. Suitable for use with round and rectangular cast iron downpipes. Supplied individually. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

The Ornamental Airbrick is most appropriate on Victorian Gothic buildings — churches, chapels, vicarages, almshouses, collegiate buildings, and high-specification estate architecture — where decorative ironwork was part of the original design. It suits listed building replacements in kind and heritage new build where period accuracy in detailing is expected.

The Polished Brass finish suits buildings where brass metalwork was standard — formal Victorian terrace housing, civic and institutional buildings, and high-quality estate architecture. It is appropriate on listed buildings and conservation properties where the wider ironmongery specification is in brass and a matching material is required.
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.
Yes. Cast iron is the material required by most conservation officers and listed building consents for the replacement or replication of traditional rainwater goods. Our hopper heads are produced in solid cast iron and we can assist with specification notes or material statements for planning purposes if required.
