Hi Richard Firstly you need to make sure that there is no debris in the gutters, then to make sure there is sufficient fall to allow water flow. Then you can use a hose pipe at the high point and see if it flows away, if it dosent then adjustment will be required. Please be very very careful when doing this as it carries a fair risk of danger re height etc. Steve
