Rainwater heads, also known as hopper heads and leader heads, are available in a remarkable range of styles, profiles, and sizes, each designed to suit functional needs and aesthetic appeal. Beyond their essential role in channelling rainwater and providing secondary inlet points, these exquisite architectural details offer an opportunity for customisation and personalisation. Carefully crafted rainwater heads can beautifully reflect the character and history of a building, location, or even its past occupants, featuring intricate design styles, date stamps, motifs, and graceful embellishments that transform them into visual statements.
For those seeking a bespoke option, our team can prepare to create a unique rainwater head that tells the story of your building. We offer finishes in primed, classic black painted, or any specified RAL/BS colour, allowing the piece to seamlessly integrate with your design vision (pricing available upon request). For a truly traditional touch, we also offer linseed oil paint finishing—a time-honoured choice that provides exceptional durability, a soft sheen, and an authentic vintage look that ages gracefully over time.
Each ornate rainwater head is custom-made to order, guaranteeing quality and craftsmanship that ensures every detail aligns with your preferences. Due to their bespoke nature, these pieces are non-returnable, reflecting the attention to detail and personalisation involved in their creation.
Tuscan Foundry specialises in crafting bespoke hopper heads to complement various pipe shapes and connections, including round pipes in 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm and square and rectangular configurations. Our designs offer flexibility with connection placements and can accommodate multiple outlets, depending on the hopper’s size. This customisation ensures seamless integration and tailored solutions for any architectural need.
To explore customisation options or begin your bespoke order, please get in touch with our Tuscan Foundry Products sales team. We look forward to working with you to add this timeless architectural detail to your project, enhancing its functionality and heritage.
Cast iron offers an authentic appearance that complements traditional architecture. It’s also robust, long-lasting, and often required to meet listed building consent conditions. Unlike plastic alternatives, cast iron guttering retains the historic integrity of a building and weathers beautifully over time.
It’s also worth noting that modern cast iron systems benefit from factory-applied protective coatings, making them easier to maintain and install than in decades past. Cast iron offers seamless integration into any historic elevation when matched carefully to the existing system or surrounding details.
