At the start of December in 2024, Storm Bert caused a new £1 million roof of a Cheshire shopping centre to leak. This can have a detrimental impact on businesses, not only damaging their stores and stock, but also posing health risks to those working and shopping in the building.

As a crucial part of the commercial sector, it is vital that retail premises have a reliable gutter system in place. This is where InterCounty comes in! Our overarching range of cutting-edge rainwater drainage solutions are designed to protect buildings of any size or sector against leaks and rainwater damage all year round.

Seamless Aluminium Guttering For Retail

Seamless Aluminium Guttering is our brand’s forte. Paying homage to our founder, Jerry Willock’s, introduction of seamless aluminium gutters to the UK in 1982, there is no better team than us to manufacture, supply and install your new aluminium gutter system.

A tried-and-tested solution, the first ever installations we carried out on Knowle Street in Stalybridge are still going strong, after 30+ years of use! With no joints in the running length, our BBA approved aluminium coil is able to withstand the most monstrous of weather conditions, as well as protect against corrosion.

Shaped on-site by a specialist mobile rolling machine, our team of expert manufacturers can cater our seamless gutters to your bespoke measurements.

Sectional Aluminium Guttering For Retail

Ideal for retail premises that are due to be renovated or refurbished, our wide range of Sectional Aluminium Guttering offers low-maintenance, fully interchangeable rain gutters with extra high flow capacities.

Available in eight different profiles, ranging from ogee aluminium guttering to half round rain gutters, our vast array of sectional guttering is sure to provide a foolproof solution for any retail property.

Ogee Aluminium Guttering

Available in three different styles, our deep, broad Ogee design offers around three times the flow capacity of a conventional half round domestic plastic gutter.

• Special Moulded Ogee Guttering – A special cast aluminium profile designed with traditional spigot fixings and offering a high flow capacity.
• Moulded Ogee Guttering – An extruded aluminium copy of Pattern 46 (one of the oldest gutter designs) with a high flow capacity, designed for large commercial and industrial applications.
• Victorian Ogee Guttering – Designed for refurbishment/renovation projects as this is a fully interchangeable guttering system, based on an aluminium copy of the 19th century Victorian cast iron profile.

Half Round Aluminium Guttering

TAlso ideal for refurbishment projects, as well as new-build developments, our Half Round Aluminium Guttering is fully interchangeable with existing gutters of a similar section and is available in four nominal widths:

• 100mm
• 113mm
• 125mm
• 150mm

All gutter lengths and angles are supplied with one left-hand cast-on socket (as viewed from the front) and all outlets are supplied with two cast-on sockets.

• Beaded Half Round Guttering – Uses beading along both top edges to enhance the standard half round profile and jointing clips instead of the traditional sockets of a half round system. Available in three widths: 112mm, 125mm and 150mm.
• Beaded Half Round Deep Flow Extruded Guttering & Beaded Half Round Deep Flow Cast Guttering – Suitable for commercial, industrial and domestic applications, the Deep Flow range integrates practical high flow rainwater disposal with timeless aesthetic appeal.

Box Profiled Aluminium Guttering

Ingeniously manufactured using premium quality profiled aluminium sheet, our Box Profiled Aluminium Guttering is suitable for direct fix at 600mm centres or for fascia bracket fixing at a maximum of 900mm centres. Our team of specialists would recommend that you use direct fixings for additional support when using fascia brackets – especially for larger profile sizes.

Expansion coefficients are also incorporated into the box profiled design and additional fixings are recommended near cross bracings. 

If you have a bespoke project on your hands, you don’t need to worry. Our specialist manufacturers can cater to both standard and unique project requirements.

Architectural Aluminium

Alongside our seamless and sectional aluminium guttering systems, we also offer a varied selection of Architectural Aluminium, including:

• Technical rainwater and roofline systems for buildings
• Valley and boundary gutters
• Wall cappings – when combined with the waterproofing of your roof, our bespoke capping creates a water-tight seal to protect against leaks, while adding a decorative touch to the tops of your parapet or perimeter walls.
• Rainscreen cladding – cladding adds a touch of style to the structural columns of your building, which can be powder-coated in any RAL colour of your choice (just like all of our other products!)
• Fascias – a low-cost and low-maintenance property solution, designed to resist corrosion and adverse weather conditions in order to protect your rainwater drainage system.
• Soffits – the finishing touch for any rainwater system, soffits are the panelling that runs beneath the eaves of your roof in order to protect the rafters from extreme weather conditions.
• Drainage channels

Aluminium Downpipes

As well as our architectural aluminium solutions, we also offer three different types of Aluminium Downpipes – designed to transport rainwater away from your gutters and into a drainage system.

• Cast Collared Downpipes – available in round, square and rectangular configurations, this range has a collared style diecast socket with double rings, that is factory fitted to each extruded length and comes with or without fixing ears.
• Aluminium Pipes with Swaged Joints – extruded aluminium pipes with a swaged jointing system and separate wall fixing brackets, which can be manufactured to standard or bespoke measurements.
• Vandal Resistant Pipes – negates the need to install expensive brick recesses to protect downpipes, by offering a vandal resistant solution for buildings prone to vandalism, e.g. schools, prisons, hospitals, etc.

Aluminium Hopper Heads

Designed with versatility in mind, our Aluminium Hopper Heads are built to match with round, square or rectangular systems. 

Functional considerations are taken into account with hopper heads that are suitable for a range of light to heavy duties.
