Default guttering modifications

sm_jamieson wrote:
Currently my house and party wall neighbours gutters slope toward each
other with a shared downpipe in the middle. I am splitting the
gutters, so mine slopes away from the neighbour to a new downpipe just
for me. Neighbour will have an end stop on and the existing downpipe
will be just for her.
But, where there is a break in the gutters, I need to prevent drips
running down the wall. Any ideas ?
e.g. join the gutters with some sort of offset height union, fix some
lead in some way to divert the water ?
Is there a standard way of joining gutters where the height changes ?
Cheers,
Simon.

Is it feasible to leave the gutters joined, but change the fall of your
bit and put some notional barrier in the gutter around the boundary with
your neighbour so your downpipe only serves your needs but deals with
the joint/drip issue.
