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.
