OLD PUMP HOUSE RETAINS
INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
WITH THE HELP OF
YEOMAN RAINGUARD
Yeoman Rainguard rainwater systems were used to help
reintroduce an industrial heritage style to The Old Pump House
in Warton.
Originally erected in 1923 as a water pumping station for
Atherstone and surrounding villages and decommissioned in the
late 1980s, the pump house was then bought in the early 90s and
after a scheme for a hotel development fell through was converted
into a home. The property was then sold in 2015 to current owners
Ian and Karen Callender.
“Though the pump house had under gone a complete
transformation into a residential property the previous owners,
whilst carrying out the renovation to their own preferences, in our
opinion designed out some of the industrial heritage. When we
purchased the property, it was our intention to restore some of
these features.” Ian explained.
Wanting to replace the white plastic gutters and downpipes at the
front of the house with a rainwater system that would reflect such
qualities, various avenues were searched. The result of which was
Yeoman Rainguard whose XL Aluminium range ticked all the boxes
when it came to style, ease of installation and durability whilst also
being cost effective.
Yeoman Rainguard 130 x 100mm deep flow half round XL
Aluminium gutters were installed giving real impact to the
house frontage.100mm dia. downpipes were added below Cast
Aluminium Motif Hoppers helping to further emphasise the
desired effect.
Finished in a durable yet stylish black polyester powder coating
the aluminium rainwater system will provide the house with 30 +
years of maintenance free service.
