Hoppers and Downpipes
Bespoke rainwater drainage systems are a fantastic example of how lead is the perfect material for the job.
-
It will never rust like cast iron.
-
Completely bespoke designs can be fabricated at a fraction of the cost of cast iron due to the workability of lead.
-
The is no required maintenance on the appearance as lead slowly develops the stable, grey coating of patina that gives it’s colour and durability.
-
Therefore it can provide hundreds of years of maintenance free service.
Here are a variety of some hoppers and downpipes I have made.
