Hi,
I've got an early 1900's Kitchen and study extension on the back of my 1830's Victorian terraced house.
We have a series of gutters that run from the side and the back of the extension, as well as a pipe that drains the waste water from the sink/dishwasher/washing machine - see photo below:

You can see they are emptying into a drain (partially covered by a bit of slate) at a height of a couple of inches. This is making the back wall very damp and causing problems.
What is the best way to fix the guttering so it runs properly in the drain? I am a reasonable DIY'er or do you think that this is a job for a professional?
Thanks
