As of 2024, there were 379,443 listed buildings in England, and the heritage sector alone is estimated to have contributed £44.9 billion in GVA (Gross Value Added) to the UK economy in 2022, supporting the employment of over 523,000 workers. So it’s no surprise that listed buildings are an integral part of the country’s history, architecture and economy. That’s why, as well as several other sectors, we offer our reliable aluminium guttering for listed buildings too – in order to balance a more modern and effective method of rainwater management with careful, historical preservation.
While our Seamless Aluminium Guttering is revolutionary, local conservation officers have a responsibility to preserve the exact style, profile and historical accuracy of listed buildings, which is why a super-modern, smooth aluminium gutter is not traditionally accepted.
That’s where our Sectional Aluminium Guttering for listed buildings comes in. With Ogee, Victorian and Cast profiles available, our more traditional guttering range combines a heritage aesthetic with contemporary performance.
Featuring a cast aluminium profile, complete with traditional spigot fixings, our Special Moulded Ogee Aluminium Guttering offers a high flow capacity (three times that of standard, plastic half round gutter profiles) and a time-honoured visual appeal.
With a lifespan of around 20-25 years, and minimal maintenance needed, our Special Moulded aluminium range is a welcome replacement for listed buildings.
An extruded aluminium copy inspired by one of the oldest gutter styles, Pattern 46, our Moulded Ogee Aluminium Guttering is a large-capacity profile highly valued for historical renovations.
Offering traditional cast iron aesthetics, with all the benefits of modern aluminium, our Moulded range meets heritage-look requirements while preventing rust and preserving structural integrity (due to its lightweight nature).
Based on nineteenth-century Victorian cast iron design, our Victorian Ogee Aluminium Guttering is fully interchangeable with existing gutters of a similar section – making the profile ideal for repair and restoration projects.
The manufacturing process uses a casting/moulding technique to create a pitted finish which is designed to mirror the look of traditional cast iron, something that is often required for heritage, conservation and listed buildings.
Providing a timeless aesthetic appeal, our Beaded Half Round Deep Flow Cast Aluminium Guttering is a high flow capacity solution with a wide variety of angles, outlets, stop ends/unions and brackets available.
Listed buildings are particularly vulnerable to water damage caused by incorrectly sized gutters. But with modern UK climates bringing heavier rainfall and more frequent storms, older, original heritage gutters are often too small with too low of a flow capacity – causing blockages and overflows. This can lead to the water seeping into the walls and foundations, resulting in costly repairs.
But the good news is, our sectional aluminium guttering is completely made-to-measure. If you send us drawings or plans for your project, we can give you a quick estimate before a member of our team visits your site to take some more measurements and provide you with a more accurate quote.
Local conservation officers also have an obligation to ensure the colour of the guttering used for a listed building is unobtrusive, or something that blends in with the building rather than standing out.
That’s why we offer custom powder coating (in any RAL colour) for all of our rainwater goods.
