Yeoman Rainguard Perfect for Old Chapel Cottage
Originally a Methodist Chapel built
in 1841, now converted to a home,
The Old Chapel Cottage boasts
both charming traditional local
architecture and stunning views over
Nidderdale, an area of outstanding
beauty in North Yorkshire.
When the current owners, Mr & Mrs
Simpson, moved into the property
they were keen to improve certain
aspects of the cottage which included
the replacement of the old dis-
coloured and worn PVC gutters and
downpipes along with the rotting
timber fascia.
Wanting to replace these
empathetically and in keeping with
the age and location of the property,
the Simpsons sourced Yeoman
Rainguard’s products after a visit to
their stand at the Homebuilding &
Renovating Show in Harrogate.
Yeoman Rainguard 130 x 100mm
deep flow XL Aluminium gutters were
installed on the cottage and adjoining
garage to accommodate the water
flow rates from the pitched roof.
75mm Dia. XL Aluminium downpipes
were added topped off with attractive
Motif cast aluminium rainwater
hoppers. Offering a bespoke design
service Yeoman Rainguard were
able to accommodate some of the
more unusual off sets and projection
configurations required to ensure a
perfect watertight rainwater system
on this project.
Finished in a durable black textured
polyester powder coating, the new
gutters, downpipes and accessories
not only have a heritage look that
complements the character of the
cottage but offer a maintenance free
lifecycle of 30 years or more.
The Rotting timber fascia was
replaced with Yeoman Rainguard “N
Type” fascia board, manufactured
from GRP- glass reinforced polyester
– it’s flexible and lightweight with
exceptionally hard wearing, strong
properties. Supplied in black to
partner with the rainwater goods, this
smart looking product will again give
a life expectancy of 30 years plus.

“When looking to update the
rainwater goods after the house
purchase, we were keen to choose
something that would fit the look, age
& character of the building as well
as be efficient & long lasting. The
team at Yeoman Rainguard helped
us to choose the right products &
configuration for the project. We also
chose Yeoman Rainguard to perform
the installation and were delighted
with both the installation process and
the result.” Helen & Mark Simpson
