Key Features and Benefits
-
Authentic heritage appearance
These downpipes replicate traditional designs dating back to the 15th century.
Perfect for listed buildings, conservation areas, and period-style developments. Matches seamlessly with the cast iron gutter system for a consistent and historically accurate finish. -
Exceptional strength and durability
Cast iron offers unmatched structural integrity. These downpipes will not sag or deflect under the weight of heavy rainfall or snow.
With routine maintenance, they deliver a service life of 70 to 100 years. -
Weather and fire-resistant
Finished surfaces will not fade or degrade in sunlight. Cast iron is non-combustible, making these downpipes an ideal choice for public buildings such as schools, hospitals, and libraries. -

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.

Right product, right price, right delivery.
Right product, right price, right delivery. Sure, it was only one length of cast iron guttering but they took the order seriously, packed it well and kept me updated on delivery. And when I opened the very good packaging I found it was exactly what I had wanted. How can you do better!!
