Yes - you can buy a special water butt kit. It requires cutting the drain pipe and inserting the attachment for the water butt diversion, allowing then water to continue using the pipe down when the water butt is full. It takes even someone not used to DIY between 30 and 60 minutes. Someone used to this would complete this in about 10 minutes. The only problem might be with a tight drain pipe fixed to the wall feeding into a ground drain - it may require the feed from the guttering at the roof to be removed to allow insertion of the water butt fitting by lifting the upper part of the drain pipe. Some of the pipe securing clips may also need removing to facilitate that.
