Britannia Circular Cast Iron Rainwater Pipes

Cast Iron gutters and rainwater pipes (downpipes) are the traditional choice for durable and aesthetically pleasing rainwater systems. It is still manufactured to the same shapes and sizes that it was 100 years ago, making it ideal for replacing existing cast iron products on Heritage and Listed building projects.

Britannia gutters are available in plain half round, beaded half round, Victorian ogee, moulded ogee and from late summer 2021, notts ogee and deepflow. The system is ready for connection on to circular downpipes or rectangular downpipes.

All Cast Iron products supplied by ARP are supplied either in primed, ready for on-site decoration, or Factory Applied Wet Paint to any BS or RAL colour on our own advanced finishing plant and every item is inspected prior to shipment to site.
