Brett Martin Plumbing & Drainage has named Andrew James as the winner of its Cascade competition, awarding him £500 to spend on Cascade Cast Iron Style rainwater and soil systems.

Mr James, managing director of Andrew James Builders, said he was “absolutely delighted”.

“Five years ago I replaced the guttering system on my period cottage with an inferior system and the pipe work already looks faded and lacks kerb appeal,” he said. “Cascade will provide a welcome alternative to traditional weighty cast iron systems and give my home a stunning finish.”

Mark Cotton, sales representative at Brett Martin Plumbing & Drainage, added: “We are thrilled to see Andrew win our Cascade Competition and have no doubt that the Cascade system will perfectly complement his home’s period aesthetic. The system has been designed to replicate original cast iron features, dimensions and detailing – and, manufactured from lightweight plastic, it is far easier to install and maintain.”
