Alumasc Cast Aluminium Victorian Ogee Guttering

Cast aluminium Victorian ogee guttering is for situations where the shape really matters. This is the profile people recognise — deep, decorative, unapologetically Victorian — and it’s still the benchmark for period properties, listed buildings, and conservation work where modern profiles just don’t sit right.

What’s changed is the material. By using cast aluminium rather than cast iron gutters, you keep the authentic ogee form while gaining a system that’s lighter, easier to install, and far more forgiving on tight programmes.

It looks traditional. It behaves like something designed for today.

The Victorian ogee profile

The Victorian ogee shape is more pronounced than standard moulded ogee gutters, with a deeper front curve and stronger visual detail. It’s the reason this profile is so often compared with traditional Victorian ogee guttering in cast iron — and why it’s still specified on heritage façades where proportions matter.

If you’re browsing across cast aluminium guttering or comparing options within the wider aluminium guttering range, this is the most decorative profile available. It’s not subtle. And that’s kind of the point.

Traditional appearance, modern material

Cast aluminium Victorian ogee guttering offers the visual weight of cast iron without the drawbacks. The system is significantly lighter, easier to handle on site, and quicker to install — especially useful when working at height or on retrofit projects.

For many specifiers, it sits neatly between traditional cast iron systems and aluminium moulded ogee guttering, offering maximum heritage appearance with far fewer installation headaches.

Finish options that suit heritage work

This system is available in a wide range of finishes to suit both restoration and new-build projects:

• Cast iron effect finishes for an authentic heritage look

• Standard RAL colours for traditional or contemporary schemes

• Bespoke BS or RAL colours available to special order

• Plain mill finish for on-site painting or specialist coatings

This flexibility makes cast aluminium Victorian ogee guttering particularly useful where colour control is required to satisfy planning or conservation conditions.

Designed as a complete rainwater system

This profile isn’t designed to stand alone.

It integrates seamlessly with matching aluminium downpipes, cast aluminium hoppers, and compatible brackets and accessories, allowing you to specify a complete, visually consistent rainwater system from roofline to ground.

If you’re comparing layouts, it’s often worth viewing this alongside aluminium moulded ogee guttering or other cast aluminium gutter profiles to judge which level of detail best suits the building.

Longevity and performance

Cast aluminium guttering performs well in UK conditions, with an expected lifespan of up to 40 years in rural or suburban environments and around 25 years in coastal or industrial areas.

It won’t rust, requires minimal maintenance, and holds its finish well over time.
