Heritage Rainwater systems

At Gutter Centre, we offer a wide range of traditional guttering systems designed to combine classic aesthetics with modern durability. Perfect for period homes, heritage properties, listed buildings, and characterful new builds, our traditional style guttering provides an elegant finish while ensuring long-lasting performance.

Traditional guttering refers to gutter and downpipe systems designed to replicate the appearance of original cast iron gutters, while offering the strength and performance of modern materials. These systems are ideal for:

• Period and heritage homes
• Listed buildings where authenticity is key
• Renovation projects requiring historically accurate detailing
• New builds designed with traditional character

With a choice of cast aluminium or cast iron, you can achieve the right look and feel for your property without compromising on quality.

Heritage Guttering: Cast Iron & Cast Aluminium

For centuries, cast iron was the material of choice for traditional guttering, prized for its strength, durability, and authentic appearance on period and listed properties. Its classic look remains ideal for heritage restorations where maintaining architectural accuracy is essential.

However, cast aluminium has become the modern alternative for traditional-style gutters, offering many of the visual qualities of cast iron but with added benefits. Aluminium is lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and easier to handle during installation, making it a practical choice for long-term maintenance and performance.

When to choose cast iron:

• Projects requiring authentic heritage appearance
• Restoration of listed or period properties
• Long-lasting material with proven durability

When to choose cast aluminium:

• Modern installations that replicate traditional designs
• Lightweight and easier to install or repair
• High resistance to corrosion and lower ongoing maintenance
