Do you install cast iron guttering on listed buildings?

Yes. We specialise in cast iron half-round, ogee and ornamental moulded rainwater goods for Grade I and Grade II listed buildings, rectories, manor houses and historic agricultural buildings, and liaise directly with conservation officers where required.

Which areas do you cover?

Our studio is in Highworth, Wiltshire. We work throughout the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire, and travel further afield across the South of England for the right commission.

What materials do you work with?

Cast iron, copper, zinc, lead and seamless or powder coated aluminium — selected to suit the period and architecture of the property.

How do I arrange a consultation?

Every project begins with a site visit by appointment. Call 01367 248417 or email guttering@austendawson.co.uk to arrange.

Cotswolds

Guttering in the Cotswolds

We supply, repair and install guttering across the Cotswolds — cast iron, copper, zinc and seamless aluminium rainwater systems for stone cottages, listed buildings, farmhouses, barn conversions and contemporary homes.

Every project starts with a site survey so the profile, material and fixing detail suit the building rather than the catalogue.

Cast iron guttering on a Cotswold stone property

Guttering for Cotswold stone properties

Cotswold stone elevations, stone-slate roofs and deep eaves detailing all influence which rainwater system is appropriate. On listed and conservation-area buildings we specify cast iron half-round, ogee and ornamental moulded profiles so replacement work reads as original.

On unlisted period homes and sympathetic extensions, powder-coated aluminium in a heritage colour gives a similar line with far less maintenance. We survey the property before recommending either route.

Replacement, repair and full installation

Most Cotswold enquiries fall into three groups: failed or leaking cast iron on a period property, tired plastic guttering that owners want replaced with something better, and new installations on extensions, barn conversions and new builds.

We supply and install all three. Where existing cast iron is sound, repair and redecoration is usually the cheaper and more sympathetic option, and we will say so at survey rather than sell a full replacement.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Much of the Cotswolds sits within conservation areas, and many properties are listed. Replacing cast iron with plastic on a listed building normally needs listed building consent and is often refused.

We work to conservation-officer guidance and can provide the profile, material and finish details a planning or listed building consent application needs.

In summary

What we do: Supply and installation of cast iron, copper, zinc and aluminium guttering, downpipes and hopper heads on Cotswold homes — from repairs and replacements to complete bespoke rainwater systems.
Where we work: Across the Cotswolds and the surrounding counties of Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire, from our base in Highworth.
Typical properties: Cotswold stone cottages, listed and conservation-area buildings, farmhouses and barn conversions, country houses, and contemporary homes and extensions.
How to start: Call 01367 248417 or send project details for a site survey. Architects and contractors can upload drawings or tender documents for review.
