Any ideas what I can do, short of dismantling the pipe-work? (not very
simple being three floors up)

Put a rope there, the water should run down that rather than
freefalling.

Simple! Well worth a try. Now I just have to find the right type of
rope. I have some nylon (or similar artificial fibre) rope about 5-6 mm
diameter somewhere. I wonder if that will do.

I can see some fun and games getting the rope past the S bend but I'm
sure we'll get there.

Many thanks for the suggestion.
