Cast Iron Warehouse was formed with a single mission in mind – making it easy to purchase traditional cast iron guttering and heritage rainwater goods.
Restoring a Victorian terrace, replacing gutters on a listed building or installing a traditional rainwater system on a brand new development is not always easy. There are various gutter profiles, sizes, finishes and fittings involved and if any of these is chosen incorrectly, this can turn into quite a costly mistake.
That is why we created Cast Iron Warehouse – a dedicated UK supplier of cast iron gutters, downpipes, hopper heads and related fitting products to install a rainwater system.
Rather than trying to sell all kinds of construction materials and building products, this website focuses only on the cast iron rainwater system products.
Cast Iron Warehouse is part of Trade Warehouse, an established UK provider of construction and exterior building materials, trading under Trade Circle Holdings Ltd.
Having supplied guttering, roofing materials and other construction products via Trade Warehouse to the UK homeowners, contractors and trade customers, we felt the necessity to open a separate website focusing solely on cast iron rainwater goods. This will make it easier for the customers to find the right profiles, compare sizes and choose matching products without looking through a wide range of unrelated goods.
Though Cast Iron Warehouse is a new website, it is run by the same business and customer service team as Trade Warehouse.
Feel free to read Trade Warehouse customer reviews to learn more about the experience of people buying goods from us.
We specialise in genuine cast iron rainwater system products manufactured by established companies, including Alumasc Apex Heritage and Hargreaves Foundry.
Our range comprises traditional cast iron guttering – Plain Half Round, Beaded Half Round, Victorian Ogee, Moulded Ogee and Deepflow profiles.
Our products include cast iron downpipes, decorative cast iron hopper heads, fittings (brackets, unions, outlets), etc.
These are perfect products to be used on period property renovation projects, heritage buildings, churches, barn conversions and for new buildings requiring the traditional appearance.
These products are factory-painted in black, primed and selected heritage colour finishes and available within next working day UK delivery from the stocks, subject to the availability and order deadline.
The most difficult aspect of choosing cast iron gutters is finding matching replacement sections.
A 125 mm Half Round gutter of one manufacturer does not necessarily connect to a 125 mm Half Round gutter from another manufacturer. Victorian Ogee and Moulded profiles can look alike until comparing sizes.
We want our customers to feel secure about choosing products they are ordering.
That is why we are forming a dedicated library of cast iron guttering information guides, including information on the gutter profiles and their sizes, how to install and maintain cast iron gutters, how to repair older rainwater systems.
In case of doubt which product is required, you can contact us with your measurements of existing guttering with photos and we will help you select the right products.
There is a reason why cast iron rainwater systems are preferred for historical or traditional buildings.
Properly installed and maintained, cast iron guttering can serve for decades. This kind of guttering is durable, repairable and provides the architectural details which are often hard to achieve by other modern alternatives.
In case of old buildings especially, choosing the right gutter profile makes the real difference in roofline appearance.
We believe that these details do matter and should be considered even when replacing one damaged section of guttering.
As UK-based business we welcome questions and requests from private and professional customers who want to work on heritage restoration projects.
Please do not hesitate to ask for help to determine gutter profile, compatible fittings, quotations to assemble a full cast iron rainwater system.
