Hargreaves Foundry
A cast iron guarantee from Hargreaves Foundry
Based in Halifax, Hargreaves Foundry manufactures cast iron rainwater and drainage products, bespoke art and architectural iron castings and engineering castings. Our own branded products include our HF Premier range for above ground, and the HF Halifax Socketless Soil and Drain system for above and below ground use.
The company, which has been supplying quality products for over 105 years, uses traditional sand casting techniques enhanced by modern materials and technology, and also offers advice and consultancy.
Our success and growth is due in equal part to the quality of our products and our customer service. We work very hard to ensure our customers obtain the products they need when they need them.
Why cast iron is sustainable
Cast iron is a long term material, providing whole-life service with little on-going maintenance. In addition to its unmatched longevity, and obvious aesthetic advantages, cast iron offers outstanding safety credentials, effective noise pollution control and, uniquely, 100 per cent recyclability. Even after more than a century of continuous service, cast iron can be reused in the manufacture of new products – with zero contribution to landfill.
All UK production by Hargreaves uses recycled raw materials.
Recent projects
Hargreaves Foundry recently supplied more than 380 gutter lengths and 110 rainwater pipes to the 6,500sqm Grade I listed 18th-century Piece Hall in Halifax. The drainage needed to be a specific colour to match the heritage building’s York Stone masonry, and the local council responsible for its conservation had anticipated difficulties in finding a volume source of replica guttering and fittings. In fact, we were able to supply from our standard product ranges.
We also met the challenges represented by Cambridge University’s distinctively curved Maufe building. Built in the 1930s, it has convex guttering and pipework on one side and concave on the other, non-standard dimensions, and a decorative motif. Tolerances were very tight but the replica ironwork produced by Hargreaves is almost indistinguishable from the original.
