Black Holdfast for Gutters and Downpipes

Black Holdfast – Traditional Fixing for Gutters and Downpipes

The black holdfast is a traditional fixing spike used to secure cast iron gutters or downpipes directly to masonry. Driven into a wall or built into mortar joints, the holdfast provides a robust and authentic method of installation, commonly used in period and heritage properties.

Features & Benefits
