Hi,
The downpipe from our main roof discharges onto a lower pitched roof and when the rain is heavy it overshoots the lower gutter. It is also by the edge of the lower roof and so leaks off the side causing moss build up and rotting of the lower fascia.
Have thought of 2 options to fix this so far:
(a) extend the downpipe so it runs down the lower roof and then into a newly added hopper at the bottom but I am not sure to how to secure it to the tiles, can I drill a couple of holes in the tile and then cut short some wall plugs and use screws to clip it on?
(b) relocate the existing downpipe from the main roof further to the left and then run a piece of downpipe across the flat roof and into an opening to a different downpipe. I have drawn an example of what I mean.
Any views on which would be better or any other ideas please?
Thanks!
