Yes. Idk why if it's a neatness thing or to prevent the splashback.
but do you have standing water on the right?
Yes. Most of the time it's OK, but the gradient is not correct. There is a slight dip for c.1m. I wanted the patio guys to cut it all out with a angle grindet and put some stones, but they assured me it was fine / too much effort....
... That said having seen where the drain runs they would have likely cut into it and fucked it. So I wasn't right.
I should add that the pic is after the initial cut in the pipe, so a whole vertical drainpipe* worth of water had just been spewed out in one go.
if it makes you feel any better, I had to kind of DIY this same thing last winter but on steel downpipe to the hacksawing took ages. Also the compacted sludge was for almost 2 metres. The elbow now just chucks water and moss all over the place. I'll sort it all properly one day, maybe.
