Refurbishment of existing cast iron guttering systems

Due to the longevity of Cast Iron guttering systems there is an option to refurbish a system that is already in use but is not aesthetically pleasing. Here at Cotswold Rainwater Services we have been involved in many refurbishment projects, where we have lovingly restored tired and rusty gutters and down pipes back to their former glory. Preserving an original cast iron guttering system will immensely enhance the character of a property. Original decorative features like hopper heads add further interest and can even bare an important date such as when a property was built or a family coat of arms etc.

Our operatives are highly experienced when it comes to the refurbishment of cast iron guttering systems. They have a great passion to see a product come back to life.

After a site survey to ascertain the condition of the existing system, our operatives will then attend the property to carefully remove the cast iron guttering, down pipes and fittings. We will transport the cast iron guttering system back to our premises where it will be cleaned of debris, quite often we use a blast cleaning method. We will then prime the system using grey oxide before applying an under coat and a minimum of 2 in No. top coats of paint. Once we are happy that the cast iron guttering system is back to its full potential we will refit the materials.
