The waste pipe runs internally from ground level to first floor but then had to go externally due to internal fit out. It’s on a new build

Hi All, As the title says, I have rain water running down brick work from where a soil pipe enters our house. Is there anything I can fasten onto the bend to take the water to the ground or any other suggestions? The attached picture shows the problem Thanks all

Hi all, I’m looking for mitre block/box for cutting L shaped chrome metal trim. There are quite a few out there and wondered if there are any recommendations for a good one? I have also looked for pre formed corners but can’t find any for L shaped trim Thanks in advance
