thanks
6 metres is high, most houses are 5 at the most and you can buy a 5.5 metre length at most builders merchants.
Is it going into a soakaway or do you need a shoe at the bottom, pointing to the drain.
If you’re attempting this on your own (good luck), fix the shoe at the bottom first.
Then drop a string line from either the soffit, or if outlet is flat to the wall, from this.
Fix pipe brackets equally, at no more than 1200 centres, along your string line.
Take string line away and fix pipe.
If you need a Sean neck, there’s some down the lake, no seriously, if you need a swan neck to get around the soffit, I would advise you seek help, as it’s awkward off a ladder on your own (actually shouldn’t be attempted)
No, it's an existing pipe that someone must have knocked out, so the gutter outlet is already directly above the drain, and fortunately it's not a swan neck. It'll save me a few bob because at that height [6m]most will want to put up a scaffold. I'll have a go at it tomorrow. Thanks.
yes, if the top bracket is still in place you might be able to not even go up a ladder, get the downpipe and a joint, cut the downpipe enough that you can move the upper bigger bit into place through the top bracket, slide it up then fit the bottom piece under it, most council house gutters are like that up the Colcot and Gibby in Barry, as i often couldnt be bothered to get the ladders off the van
anyone would do it of ladders, 6 M isnt that high
you should just be able to slide if back into place
