Guttering advice / 2nd opinion

[Elle0011]

Hi,

Just wondering if any UK guttering experts on here wouldn't mind me DMing them some photos of my recent guttering replacement for a 2nd opinion. I don't think what has been done is ok.

Thanks

I have three concerns.

1) The guttering now goes into the hopper, it was not previously connected; the hopper is connected to next door's system. The hopper has been cut into and silicon used, this doesn't seem ok to me. Is there a joining mechanism that should have been used?
2) The outlet pipe holes: should these be circular?
3) Downpipe, the join looks uneven

They should have used a running stopend:

112mm Half Round Stopend Outlet

Use this half round stop end to divert the flow of water in your guttering system. It's easy to attach to a half round gutter and can be used with a downpipe to channel rainwater away from your house. This lightweight product doesn't need much effort to carry up a ladder, so it's a good choice...

No need for a hopper, was it a cash job? or cheapest quote?

Hopper should be like that and probably shouldn't even be fitted there as no need.
That's going to give trouble

The hopper was already there, it mainly collects water from next door's roof.

My gutter was not previously connected to it. I did not ask for it to be connected the way it has been.

Take a picture further back.

Next door's gutter stops halfway along, so a lot of rainwater can run off their roof into the hopper.
