Figbury Lodge
We were contracted to design, manufacture, and install a complete aluminium rainwater system for Figbury Lodge, a newly constructed nursing home in Poole. The project required a high-quality, durable, and visually appealing solution to ensure efficient water management while complementing the building’s contemporary design. The scope of work included fascia, gutters, and downpipes, all designed to meet the specific requirements of the site.
Working closely with Stepnells, the main contractor, County Gutters was provided with architectural drawings to determine project costs. A detailed site survey was conducted to verify measurements, and flow calculations were requested by the client to confirm the system’s capacity. Once the necessary approvals were granted, including sample reviews, the contract was officially awarded to County Gutters to supply and install the full rainwater package.
Beyond the rainwater system, County Gutters was also asked to fabricate and install aluminium cappings for large chimneys. This additional work was a testament to the quality and reliability demonstrated during the initial installation, further strengthening the working relationship between Stepnells and County Gutters. The bespoke chimney cappings were designed to match the overall aesthetic of the building while providing essential weather protection.

Comprehensive aluminium rainwater system for Figbury Lodge
The system installed comprised Legion Box Gutters, Colonnade Rainwater Pipes, Trueline Fascia and Soffits, and Trueline Bespoke Fabrications. To ensure longevity and resistance to the coastal climate, all aluminium components were polyester powder-coated to a marine-grade finish in RAL 7016 Grey. This not only enhanced durability but also maintained a sleek, modern appearance that seamlessly integrated with the overall architectural style of the nursing home.
The successful completion of the Figbury Lodge project highlights County Gutters’ ability to deliver tailored rainwater solutions for large-scale developments. By combining expert craftsmanship, premium materials, and close collaboration with the client, the project met all functional and aesthetic requirements. The outcome is a long-lasting, efficient, and visually cohesive rainwater system that enhances the building’s durability while maintaining its contemporary design.
