I imagine the OP like me, lives in a terraced house. Both of my neighbours
have a downpipe, but I don't. We catch water off the garage roof into a
large tank scrounged (as ever) from a skip.

Very easy to get up there, cut a chunk out of the gutter, insert the bit
with a spout under, and fit a down pipe into a water butt :-))

I did that a few years ago and have 3 water butts standing in the courtyard
:-))
(One will be going onto the new verandah guttering system when it is
finished)
