RAINGUARD ALUMINIUM
– THE PERFECT MATCH FOR
GRADE II LISTED CHURCH
Needing to replace an old cast iron rainwater system, Hatherlow
Church’s list of “must haves” was not a small one.
Elder of the Church, Mat Simpson explained “Hatherlow Church
is a grade II listed building, and as such we were looking for a
system that would be in keeping with the mid - 19th century
building, as well as matching existing gutters and downpipes
already installed. The product would also have to cope with the
vast amount of water that flows from the pitched roof when it
rains.
“Being budget conscious, we also required the lowest cost
possible, for an aesthetically pleasing, long lasting and highly
functional system. Yeoman Rainguard managed to tick all the
boxes.”
After meeting Mat on site, Yeoman Rainguard’s Area Sales
Manager was able to put forward a range of options suitable for
the project.
A free product sample was issued for the Church members to
assess and Yeoman Rainguard’s XL Aluminium system was chosen.
To accommodate the large water flow levels from the pitched roof,
130 x 100 mm Deep Flow XL Aluminium Gutters were installed to
the front side of the Church.
These were complemented with the addition of 100mm dia. XL
Aluminium Downpipes, sufficiently wide enough to cope with the
amount of water captured in the deep flow gutters.
The installation, carried out by Yeoman Rainguard’s team, was
completed with attractive Bellvue cast aluminium rainwater
hoppers to either side of the Church’s porched entrance.
All of Yeoman Rainguard’s XL Aluminium products have a durable
powder coated finish which not only looks stylish but offers 30
years plus maintenance free service.
“We are very pleased with the quality of the product and
installation by Rainguard and have already noticed that the front
elevation of the church is drying out. This allows us to commence
with other work now the building is watertight.” Concluded Mat.
Hatherlow Church has already appeared in the TV programme
“who do you think you are” featuring the actor Sir Ian McKellen
and they are looking forward to the actor bringing his 80th
birthday stage performance to the Church’s village in the summer.
