What Is Victorian Ogee Aluminium Guttering?

Victorian Ogee aluminium guttering is designed to replicate the original cast iron ogee profile commonly found on 19th-century properties. The ogee shape features a decorative 'S' curve that offers both aesthetic appeal and a high flow rate – ideal for managing water runoff from pitched roofs. You often see it up North and in small heritage towns.

This beautiful cast aluminium range offers the same characterful profile as cast iron but with the lighter weight, rust resistance, and low maintenance benefits of aluminium.

Why Choose Cast Aluminium Victorian Ogee Guttering?

✔ Lightweight but Tough

Crafted from high-grade aluminium, this guttering system is far lighter than cast iron but remains incredibly strong – perfect for traditional buildings where visual impact matters just as much as performance.

✔ Fully Compliant & Built to Last

All components are manufactured in accordance with BS 8530, offering reassurance that your rainwater system is designed to withstand the UK climate for decades.

✔ Customisable Finish

Choose between:
🎨 Milled (plain) finish – Ideal for onsite painting or a raw industrial aesthetic
🎨 Polyester Powder Coated (PPC) finish – Available in any RAL colour for a fully customised look

Whether you want to match existing trim or create a bold contrast, PPC finish gives you the flexibility to design your guttering to suit your property.
