ANCILLARY ITEMS
Complete Your Guttering System with Precision Made Components
Our range of ancillary guttering items includes the essential components required to complete durable and effective rainwater systems for both traditional and contemporary buildings. Manufactured in copper, zinc and stainless steel, each item is precision crafted to ensure compatibility, reliability and long term performance.
Copper remains the preferred material for many architectural and heritage applications due to its exceptional lifespan, natural corrosion resistance and attractive ageing characteristics. Stainless steel and zinc also provide durable, low maintenance alternatives suitable for a wide range of projects and environments.
Our ancillary range includes brackets, outlets, stop ends, unions, angles, fixings and bespoke rainwater accessories, all manufactured to maintain consistent quality and architectural appearance throughout the system.
Suitable for heritage restorations, listed buildings, residential developments and commercial projects, our guttering accessories are designed to provide dependable installation and lasting durability in exposed outdoor conditions.
Extending
Our downpipe clip spacers are designed to provide secure and consistent spacing between the downpipe and wall surface. Commonly used where insulation, render, cladding or uneven masonry prevents direct fixing, they also provide an effective solution where decorative brick detailing, plinths or stepped wall surfaces require the downpipe to stand clear of the façade. Ideal for both traditional and modern rainwater systems, they help ensure accurate alignment and reliable installation.
Available in 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 4cm and 5cm lengths, each spacer is produced in brass as standard and can be used with both our copper and stainless steel downpipe clips. Designed to sit neatly between the downpipe clip and the fixing screw supplied with the clip, multiple spacers can also be combined to create bespoke stand off distances where required.
Securing
Our pop rivets are designed to provide a strong, reliable and discreet fixing solution for rainwater goods, roofing and architectural metalwork applications. Manufactured to complement our metal systems, they are available in copper with a brass pin or stainless steel with a stainless steel pin for maximum material compatibility and long term durability.
Ideal for use across copper and stainless steel installations, these rivets offer excellent corrosion resistance and a clean professional finish. Each rivet requires a 4mm pre drilled hole and is suitable for a wide range of fabrication, installation and repair applications where secure mechanical fixing is required.
Designed for both traditional and contemporary projects, our pop rivets provide dependable performance while maintaining the quality and appearance expected from premium architectural metalwork systems.
Joining and Sealing
Our silicone sealant is specially selected for sealing and bonding gutter joints, stop ends and outlets across our full range of rainwater systems. Suitable for use with copper, stainless steel, zinc and quartz zinc, it provides a durable, flexible and weather resistant seal designed for long term outdoor performance.
Formulated to accommodate thermal movement and exposure to changing weather conditions, the sealant helps create strong, reliable joints while maintaining a clean professional finish. Ideal for both new installations and maintenance applications, it offers excellent adhesion to metal surfaces and supports dependable watertight performance across traditional and contemporary guttering systems.
Leaf It Out!
Protect Your Gutters from Leaves and Debris
Balloon Leaf Guards
Our balloon leaf guards are designed to help prevent leaves and debris from entering the downpipe system while allowing rainwater to flow freely through the outlet. Positioned directly into the top of the gutter outlet, they provide a simple and effective solution for reducing blockages and minimising maintenance requirements.
Available in copper or stainless steel, each balloon leaf guard is manufactured for durability, corrosion resistance and long term outdoor performance. Suitable for both traditional and contemporary guttering systems, they are ideal for properties surrounded by trees or areas prone to falling leaves and debris.
Leaf Guards
Our gutter leaf guards are designed to sit neatly over the top of the gutter, helping to prevent leaves, moss and debris from entering the rainwater system while still allowing efficient water flow. By reducing the build up of debris within the gutter, they help minimise maintenance and improve long term drainage performance.
Manufactured in copper or stainless steel, our leaf guards combine durability, corrosion resistance and a clean architectural appearance suitable for both heritage and modern buildings. Designed for compatibility with a range of gutter profiles, they provide an effective and discreet solution for protecting rainwater systems in exposed environments.
Downpipe Diverters
Our downpipe diverters provide a practical access point within the rainwater system and can also be used as convenient rodding points for inspection and maintenance purposes. Designed to support easier cleaning and blockage removal, they offer a functional addition to both traditional and contemporary downpipe installations. Available in copper and stainless steel to match the surrounding rainwater system.
Patination
Our verdigris solution is designed to accelerate the natural patination process of copper, creating the distinctive aged appearance traditionally associated with weathered architectural copper. Suitable for use across copper rainwater systems, roofing, cladding and decorative metalwork, it helps achieve a mature verdigris finish in a significantly shorter period of time.
Ideal for heritage projects, restoration work and architectural applications where an aged appearance is desired from installation, the solution enhances the visual character of copper while maintaining the material’s natural qualities and long term durability.
Easy to apply and developed specifically for copper surfaces, our verdigris solution provides a practical way to achieve a more established architectural appearance while supporting design consistency across new and existing copper installations.
