Downpipes fail in three main ways - blockages that overflow at the top, splits from frost or impact that leak down the wall, and disconnections at the shoe where the pipe meets the gully. Each has a different fix and a different price. A blocked pipe is often cleared for under £80; a snapped bracket or split section is £100-£200; a full downpipe rerun with a new offset is £200-£350. What matters is figuring out which one you've got before the quote lands.

Blockages are the commonest call. Leaves and moss compact at the top elbow (the shoe under the outlet) or at the swan-neck offset around the eaves, and once it overflows the leak shows up two metres below where the blockage actually is. Clearing is done with an auger rod from the top or a wet-vac from the bottom depending on access - the pipe should be flushed with water afterwards to confirm the fall. A leaking joint above the blockage often turns out to be the same seal that was flooded by the overflow, so an installer who fixes the joint without clearing the pipe is treating a symptom.
