What do people recommend? Should we connect our guttering (assuming
it's possible) or keep separate? Is there a real chance of damp due to
the gap, or is it best to keep as-is?

Thanks

You're very lucky to have separate gutters. I live in a terraced house
second from the end, and the water from the one on the end has to
travel 4 houses to the nearest downpipe. The gutters drip a bit, and
water just sits there, so I reckon the downpipe is blocked.
