Hoppers
With a large selection of materials and sizes to choose from, our metal hoppers won’t look out of place on traditional or modern houses. See below to find the best solution for your home or new build.
Metal hoppers are often used for decoration purposes as they can add a nice touch to your guttering, but they also have a functional use and mean that up to 66% more rainwater can be transferred to the downpipes, reducing water flowing onto other areas of the property.
