Cast iron gutters and pipes enhance the appearance of both traditional and contemporary projects whilst providing significant benefits over other rainwater systems. Cast iron guttering, pipes and hopper heads offer unrivalled strength, durability, low operational noise levels, environmental benefits and a lifespan that makes the installation of these products a once in a generation event.
Metal & Glass cast iron rainwater and soil systems are the logical choice for listed properties and conservations areas as the aesthetic appeal of cast iron satisfies all the requirements of heritage architecture.

Our Premier Rainwater is a range of traditional cast iron pipes, gutters and fittings available “off the shelf”. Included is the common half round profile; these are cast iron rainwater products which have been used over centuries and continue to outperform many modern alternatives. Properly fitted and maintained our Premier products should be expected to last over 100 years, enhance a building’s exterior appearance and add value. Premier Rainwater Ex Stock is available as Premier Grey Primed or Premier Extra (PX) Black gloss. Other colours in the RAL or BS ranges are available ex stock but lead times will vary. We also offer Premier Coastal which is essential to help cast iron gutters and pipes meet the rigours of a marine environment.
We can also offer made to order cast iron rainwater products. They are available within our range but need to be cast or fabricated with timescales agreed in advance. They can be ordered in exactly the same way as ex stock products. They are available in all the same paint options as Premier Ex Stock.
