Guttering with no downpipe - is that right??

cake21

14 months after moving in is a bit late to notice but I have approx. 2m of guttering at the back of the house with no rain/downpipe

I *think* that might be causing water to spill on to my (wooden) back door, which is starting to warp. I've cleared most of the moss and gunk out of it so hopefully that will help.

Should I get a separate downpipe fitted or can I just extend it to the nearest downpipe?

Or am I missing something and it's all ok?? Not sure why it wasn't mentioned on the survey (I had the detailed homebuyer's report done)

it does need a downpipe wether you put new one in or link into existing one depends on location

Thanks a6windows.

Had a drain person come out today, who said it was ok because the overflow was going onto the flat (?) roof next to it.

Tried to take a photo but couldn't get the angle (tiny garden is funny terraces)
