    Is there any neat methods of putting a trap and gulley and wavin pipe into or through a footpath to take water from a downpipe off a small porch roof? This should have been done when footpaths were going down but was forgotten by builder.

    Thanks

    Building regs state that roofs 6 sqm or less do not require gutters.
    Would this be an option?
    Otherwise, id suggest cutting out a section of the path and redoing after pipework installed.

    I have a flat slab as the roof but this is turning green along the sides from water dripping down it. Would prefer if i could take the water off.

    How would one bring water off a pavement from downpipe with no gully in position? Is it possible?

    Cut through the path and slot in an acco drain to act as both a gully and pipe?
