Hi everyone
I hope someone can help. I've attached 2 photo's but in case they don't work, I'll try an explain.
I have a problem with my downpipe from my gutter. I believe I have standard gutters etc and the house is about 15 years old.

The downpipe is connected to a main sewer type pipe which is just visible above the ground. Both pipes do not meet correctly so a 'rubber thingy' was used to ensure both pipes connected.
When the weather was very cold and it snowed for days last December, I ran over this 'rubber thingy' with my wheely bin and it disintergrated.

I can't find a replacement anywhere, and it doesn't help that I don't know what it is called. I've been to B&Q/Homebase/Wickes etc, and googled, But all I find is solid plastic, and I need rubber/flexible type part.

I hope I've made myself understood, and I really hope the photos work, as all I need to know is the name of the rubber thingy.
Thanks
Anne

Its called a universal rainwater adaptor or a drain adaptor.

EDIT just seen that link above, that's the feller
 
There is life outside B&Q and Wickes... It's a commonly used item... Drainage centre..Omnico, and plenty of others
 
Thanks to everyone who replied. I've ordered the part. I know there are other places besides B&Q etc, but to a woman who doesn't know anything, these are very, very scary places.

Thanks to everyone again. :D
