Commercial buildings, such as large-scale offices, shopping centres, restaurants and hotels, are often characterised by huge square footage that relies on heavy steel columns or arches for support. With our lightweight, seamless and sectional commercial aluminium guttering, the strength-to-weight ratio prevents any added strain on the building, providing a strong, durable and virtually maintenance-free rainwater drainage solution for your commercial property.
As such a vital element of the public sector, schools need a durable, reliable and sustainable rainwater drainage system that will provide the building with a low-maintenance solution. This is where our commercial aluminium guttering comes in.
Our wide range of aluminium guttering can guarantee no rust, no need to repaint (like there is with wooden alternatives) and no rot. Our deep, broad ogee rain gutters have approximately three times the flow capacity of conventional half-round plastic gutters and are also an extremely cost-effective investment that will last you over 30 years.
But, don’t just take our word for it! Take a look at one of our recent projects (pictured to the right) where we installed bespoke aluminium box gutters powder-coated in black satin, alongside aluminium downpipes at a school in Manchester.
Expertly manufactured on-site, our Box Profiled Aluminium Guttering is made using profiled aluminium sheet – a perfect material for commercial projects as it provides a strong and stable solution.
Our box profiled aluminium guttering is available in five standard widths. But, non-standard sizes can also be fabricated to meet bespoke requirements.

Whether your commercial building requires Cast Collared Downpipes, Pipes with Swaged Joints or even Vandal Resistant Downpipes – InterCounty Rainwater has got you covered!
Our cast collared aluminium downpipes are available in round, square and rectangular shapes, and all have a collared style diecast socket factory fitted to each extruded length. This socket detail has double rings and can be fitted with or without fixing ears.
If your commercial building has bespoke requirements for bends and Y junctions with ears, please let us know whether you need these to be left or right-handed, as we can cater a wide variety of extension brackets and clips to you!
Incorporating a swaged jointing system with separate wall fixing brackets, our swaged aluminium downpipes feature an extruded style, with brackets that can either be manufactured as standard or specially made to accommodate standalone requirements.

Specially designed for public sector applications, our vandal resistant pipes help to protect commercial buildings that are more vulnerable to vandalism, such as schools and prisons. This system mitigates the need to install expensive brick recesses in order to protect downpipes.

As well as our wide range of aluminium guttering, we also offer a comprehensive selection of Architectural Aluminium – an umbrella term for technical rainwater products and roofline systems or facades for buildings. Our architectural aluminium works alongside our aluminium guttering to ensure rainwater is being drained from a roof appropriately.
Aluminium has been used in the architectural industry since the 1930s, when it was used to construct several components of New York’s Empire State Building. Considered the top-choice for architects, approximately 24% of finished aluminium products are used within the construction sector globally.
One of our recent projects on a newly refurbished restaurant in Altrincham (pictured to the right) put our architectural aluminium to use, during which we installed a stunning, and equally practical, fascia and soffit detail.
Aluminium fascia is a protective panelling that runs beneath the roof of a building to prevent corrosion and weather-related damage.
No matter the age, size, shape or finish of your commercial property, our profiled aluminium fascias offer a cost-effective, fully integrated and durable solution that is virtually maintenance-free!
Aluminium soffit is also a protective panelling that runs beneath the roof eaves, where the roof extends over the side walls of a building, in order to protect the rafters of the roof from the external elements (e.g. severe weather conditions and corrosion).
Available in a single-profile system, a two-part fascia/soffit system or a soffit planking system, our aluminium soffit detail is guaranteed to complete your rainwater drainage system, while providing an equally aesthetically pleasing aluminium finish to your commercial property.

As such an important part of the healthcare sector, hospitals must ensure their rainwater drainage system is up to scratch.
One of our recent projects (pictured to the right) involved manufacturing and installing aluminium fascia and soffit detail for a local hospital in Manchester. Using our innovative colour match technology, our team of specialists powder-coated the aluminium sheet in a coordinating shade that matched the hospital’s colour scheme.
Protecting the hospital building from corrosion, weather damage and disruption to its rainwater drainage system, our team could rest assured that our fascia and soffit would help to prevent any deterioration.
