Downpipe loose & Gully has cracked seal

[Meik]

Front downpipe is loose and requires re-securing. Also the downpipe's junction with the gulley has a cracked seal, which should be repaired.

Ok so im not to worried about repairing this but what I did want to ask advice on is that I want to build a porch at the from of the house and these two things are in the way...

Would it be difficult or complicated to move them?

Probably not too difficult but depends on the location of the pipe. Is it in plastic or cast iron?

I agree with the above.

You would have to re-jig the falls of the guttering to drain to the new RWP position.

Locate the IC or manhole to which your gulley drains, and then estimate the path for any new gulley drainage.
Its often possible to tie in to the old gulley ground drain.
