Are you the tenant or the landlord? When I was renting, we had a similar situation. Gutter was faulty and water was pi55ing through the walls. We told our landlord & estate agents numerous times and they never fixed it. So we stopped paying rent for 2 months

Its my own property, next doors is landlord the company is called grant management they own thousands of houses they let them out to students

It will be a joint job if you get me - as in the cost should be split, as you both need to buy / fashion a connection up that both types of gutter can link to without leaking.

Why not update your guttering and replace with new?
