Unfortunately two builders I have consulted have given different opinions.
One (a roofing expert) says that it is not possible
to attach a downpipe to the gutters, because these are cast iron.

I wonder if anyone has a view on this?


Technically it isn't a problem, although the guttering doesn't appear
to be standard so you may need to get a piece fabricated.


However, if this

is the building and it is listed I doubt you would persuade a listed
buildings officer to allow you to do it.
