ANCILLARY ITEMS

Complete Your Guttering System with Precision Made Components
Ancillary Items

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.

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.

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.
