New guttering - swan neck from upper roof removed

[chaoticj]

Hi,

I've just had some new seamless aluminium guttering and cast aluminium downpipes installed.

The gutter on the left side apex was wooden and rotten, it had a cast iron swan neck connecting it to the lower gutter.

I was told the gutter and downpipe arrangement had been left the same, but the swan neck has been removed and not replaced.

Presumably the gutter now has fall towards the roof. Will this be an issue as I think it will handle a fair volume of water. Which may be best diverted away from the roof, eaves and wall flashings below?

Thank you in advance.

This is how it used to look higher up.

Impossible to see what's going on in the newer pictures.
Your concerns are valid, water from a gutter should not be discharged onto a roof, but is there any pipe running from the other end of the gutter down the roof slope into the main gutter?

Hi @Deluks definitely no pipe from the other end. I think it is probably an open end - it's hard to see. If it wasn't open then the gutter would just fill up with nowhere to go?

Perhaps I would be best emailing them the pictures as an important snag? Good to know it's a legitimate concern though.
