Here's to 2024!
Posted by Gemma@CastIronEffect on 9th Jan 2024
We hope all our past customers enjoyed a lovely festive break, and have settled well into 2024.
We have been busy over the past few weeks, working with our suppliers of the raw materials to make sure that our cast iron effect gutter and downpipe can remain within the same price range that we have always endeavoured to provide our customers. This has not meant taking any reduction in quality, but rather us organising our logistics to be as slick as can be, so that not a penny is wasted in transport or packaging.
We have no concern over our quality standards, and we are very grateful for all the customer reviews that are put onto our website that confirm our belief that our product is one of the finest cast iron effect rainwater ranges in the UK.
It is always tempting to improve and add to our range, and although we all prefer the classic black, maybe we could have a dabble into another heritagel colour. So this could be the news of 2024. We are very lucky to have some beautifully renovated properties in and around our Tattenhall, Cheshire base, and are always taken with the heritage red colour on the downpipes and gutter, especially against the Cheshire brick built buildings. We will have to see what we can do!
