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.
Bespoke & Made to Order - Cast Iron Hopper Heads
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.
