The ancient Radiant combi is mounted on an outside wall, and there is a
copper pipe (I assume the condensate drain) sticking out of the wall with
a downwards bend which is more or les constantly dripping.

I assume that this should go into some form of drainage. This may explain
why the concrete lintel below is rotting away.

Anyway, there is a rainwater down pipe close to it. Is it acceptable to
put some kind of joint in the downpipe so that the copper pipe drips into
it? The drain below is where some of the condensate will go eventually.

Guttering is "interesting" and I'm not looking forward to fixing it
although it looks as though most of the grass growing out of the shonky
joints has been killed by the recent hot dry weather.

Cheers
