Downpipes
Downpipes carry the water collected by the gutters down and away from the property. DnB Roofing repairs and replaces downpipes for homeowners across London, ensuring rainwater is directed where it should go.
A downpipe that's come loose, cracked or detached can let water run down the walls or pool around the base of the property. Over time, that can affect brickwork, pointing and the area around the foundations. Keeping downpipes sound is a straightforward but important part of looking after a home.
Whether a downpipe needs re-securing, a section replacing, or a full renewal, we'll assess what's there and carry out the work that's needed. Downpipes form part of the wider guttering system, and we look at them in that context.
What To Look For

In Detail
Downpipes And The Guttering System
Downpipes are the vertical part of the guttering system, connecting the gutters at the roofline to the drainage at ground level. They work under gravity, so the right sizing, secure brackets and sound joints all matter for them to carry water effectively.
Common faults include brackets failing so the pipe comes loose, cracks from impact or age, and joints between sections leaking. A detached downpipe is both a nuisance and a risk — water running uncontrolled down a wall or pooling at the base can cause damage over time.
Where a downpipe can be re-secured or a section repaired, we'll do that. Where it's cracked along its length or badly deteriorated, replacing it is the practical option. We assess each downpipe as part of the wider guttering system.

Questions
Downpipes — Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a loose downpipe?
Yes. Where brackets have failed and the pipe has come loose, re-securing or replacing the brackets puts the downpipe back in place so it carries water properly.
Can a cracked downpipe be repaired?
Where a crack is localised, a section repair may be possible. Where the pipe is cracked along its length or badly deteriorated, replacing it is the practical option.
Why is water running down my wall?
It's often a sign that a downpipe is cracked, detached or leaking at a joint, so water is escaping rather than being carried down the pipe. We identify the specific cause.
Do you replace downpipes?
Yes. We replace downpipes that are cracked, deteriorated or no longer sound, as part of the wider guttering system.
Are downpipes part of the guttering?
Yes. Downpipes connect the gutters at the roofline to the drainage at ground level, and we look at them as part of the whole guttering system.
