Cage for drain in the middle of a flat roof
 

Cage for drain in the middle of a flat roof - what kind of thing is
available?

The reason I'm asking is that Rooftec have just redone the roof - and
they took away the existing cage - and don't seem to be able to find a
replacement.

With your help I might be able to tell them where to get one.
The original was a frustrated cone (no jokes please!)
with a base diameter of about eight inches
and a top diameter of about four inches
and a height of about four inches.

It's job is to stop leaves and dead frogs dropping into the downpipe.

Could one of those terminal guard cages they sell for boiler flue outlets do
the job?

Thanks for your reply. I dunno. Never heard of them.
Could you give me a reference?

Thanks for the link. That's not quite it though.
I wonder if there's a guttering company that would have something
suitable?

Odd that no-one's managed to come up with something... I hate to admit
to browsing the Scotts of Stow catalogue (erm... it is my mother's, not
mine, ok?) but they have just the thing you're looking for. I think.

Item number 26690 "Gutter Ball" 7.95ukp. I haven't tried their website,
they may have an online catalogue: http://www.scottsofstow.co.uk/

HTH

Hwyl!
