What Are Cast Aluminium Gutters?
Cast aluminium gutters are made using a moulded process that creates strong, decorative sections designed to mimic traditional cast iron systems. This method ensures every piece has depth, definition, and heritage character, making it ideal for heritage guttering for period homes and traditional style guttering on listed buildings.
Unlike sheet aluminium, cast systems offer a more authentic look and feel. Ours are manufactured in the UK to the highest standards, including full BBA certification, so you can rely on long-term performance and peace of mind.
Why Homeowners Choose Cast Aluminium Guttering
Aesthetics play a large part in the choice of guttering and cast aluminium certainly doesn’t disappoint in this regard. But choosing aluminium guttering isn’t just about how it looks; it’s a practical investment in your home’s future.
Let’s quickly explore why so many UK homeowners are switching:
- Traditional Look with Modern Performance
- Corrosion-Resistant Gutters That Won’t Rust
- Low Maintenance Gutter System: No Repainting or Flaking Paint
- Suitable for Older and Listed Buildings
- Excellent Value Over Decades of Use
We know that maintenance can be a worry. With cast aluminium, that concern disappears. These gutters won’t warp in the heat, fade in the sun, or crumble after a harsh winter. You’ll enjoy classic charm with modern durability; a balance that delivers beauty and functionality for decades.
Gutter Styles to Suit Your Home
Your home is unique, and your guttering should be too. We supply a range of rainwater gutters for older homes, designed to suit different rooflines and eras:
- Half-Round: A timeless shape, ideal for cottages or 20th-century homes
- Victorian Ogee: A decorative, sculpted profile that echoes ornate period detailing
- Moulded Ogee: Deeper, high-capacity gutters perfect for larger roofs and period properties
Our powder-coated aluminium gutters encompass all the above style, offering the perfect blend of form and function. Whatever your property’s age or style, we’ll help you choose the right profile to enhance its original charm.
Colour Options and Finishes
With hundreds of colours available, your gutters don’t have to be black, unless that’s exactly what your home needs.
At The Gutter & Cladding Company, we supply cast aluminium gutters that can be powder coated in a wide range of RAL or BS shades, including:
- Classic Black
- Heritage White
- Contemporary Greys
- Earthy Tones for Stone or Brickwork
Each finish is weather-resistant, UV-stable, and scratch-resistant, meaning your decorative gutter profiles will stay looking sharp for years. Want something unique? We also offer custom colour matching to help you get the perfect finish for your property.

Easy to Install and Built to Last
One of the biggest advantages of aluminium guttering is how straightforward it is to install. Despite its traditional look, it’s up to 65% lighter than cast iron, making it easier to handle, lift, and fit, especially on older properties where access may be trickier.
Each system is designed to be a long-lasting guttering solution, fitted with seals and bolts for a watertight, authentic appearance. Compatible with most standard downpipes and existing rooflines, cast aluminium integrates beautifully into homes of any age.
Cast Aluminium vs Other Guttering Options
For homeowners who want heritage charm without modern compromises, cast aluminium gutters strike the perfect balance.
When comparing guttering materials, the benefits of cast aluminium stand out:
Cast Iron
- Beautiful But Very Heavy
- Prone to Rust and Flaking
- Requires Repainting and Regular Maintenance
- Costlier to Install Due to Weight and Fragility
uPVC
- Affordable Initially But Has a Shorter Lifespan
- Can Discolour or Warp Over Time
- Often Clashes with Traditional Architecture
Cast Aluminium
- Offers The Traditional Style Without the Hassle
- Lightweight Yet Strong
- Low Maintenance, Corrosion-Resistant, and Durable
- Delivers Long-Term Value, Especially on Period Homes
