There seems some discussion about whether the Pipe is solely mine until it is Joined by another Flow... There also seems some discution if that applies to Guttering or only the to the "used" water-drain discharge (in fact, my Gutter is joined with neighbours gutter - there is no downpipe o...

For some considerable time, I have been awaiting "authority" to pepair a broken Surface-water Drain - in particilar, the one that my Gutter downpipe discharges into. It had been leaking into my roof..... Part of the ceiling the ceiling collapsed on Sunday Morning...... The pipe passes unde...
