Our Story
Years of craftsmanship in the rainwater arts.
A Considered Practice
Tailored, discreet and entirely sympathetic to the architecture it serves.
Every project is led personally, from the first site walk to the final downpipe fixing, and delivered by a small team of long-standing craftsmen who share the same standards.
Austen Dawson works on cottages, listed properties, country estates and architect-led new builds across the Cotswolds, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The studio collaborates with conservation architects, estate managers and private clients on commissions that demand both technical rigour and an instinct for proportion.
The Ethos
Four principles that guide every project.
— 01
Heritage First
Materials, profiles and fixings chosen to honour the period and architecture of the property.
— 02
Hand-Finished
From joints to fine detailing, every element is installed with care and finished to the highest standard.
— 03
Discreet Conduct
Considerate site practice, minimal disruption and absolute respect for the household.
— 04
Long Standing Care
Tailored maintenance plans so the work we install today endures for generations to come.
By Austen Dawson
“A house is told as much by its hoppers and downpipes as by its windows. Get them right, and the building is at ease.”
— Austen Dawson, Founder
