I'm installing a gully in a patio. I've had a special request to use small 'discreet' gully gratings/grids. The problem is, the smallest grating I can find is the standard plastic grating which is 150mm square. I've done some googling and managed to find some nice 4" and 5" cast iron gratings, but the problem is I can't find a hopper of the correct size to suit the grating!

Does anyone know where I can get a 4" or 5" gully grating, with hopper to suit???

(will accept round or square, and any material I can find - plastic/cast iron/clay, but ideally cast iron for the grating)

Blucher do a small gully but they are stainless steel. They are very expensive, it just so happens i have one left over from a job. The top adjusts to about 40ml so gradients not a problem. i can try and post a photo. if you go to blucher site they have pics'.

Tony -
You're a legend! I had been toying with the idea of a channel drain running the width of the patio, but I had never heard of brickslot linear channel - it looks perfect - nice and discreet!
Thanks :)

Sean, thanks for the suggestion - I'll go with the brickslot option, I'd seen the blucher stuff but it's a tad over budget as you say.
Cheers,
Liam

No worries i will find a use for it one day, at about £95 a pop it's to expensive to bin.

I work with a couple of lads from farming families, if they see a burnt out bonfire they are in the middle of it kicking the ash about and reclaiming nails and screws.

ffs get down to B & Q and buy what you need :laugh:
