Downpipes are designed to channel water from your roof into the external stormwater network, preventing it from pooling around your property’s foundations. If your downpipes can’t cope with the volume or speed of rainfall—especially during heavy storms—it can lead to serious issues, including water damage, soil erosion, and even localised flooding that affects neighbouring homes.

It’s also critical that downpipes are correctly connected. They should always lead into a designated stormwater system, not into wastewater drains that carry sewage and greywater from kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry areas. Incorrect connections not only breach regulations but can pose health and environmental risks.

For homeowners in Cardiff, Newport, and the Vale of Glamorgan, our team ensures your rainwater systems are installed to the highest standards, using durable materials that stand up to the unpredictable British weather.
