Oh the outside taps thing: It was a bit of a wind up reflecting an old post where some (not very) 'handy' man was calling anyone a cowboy if he could do an outside tap in less than 90 minutes.

Thanks for that Chris, to be honest I thought there would be more products on the market for this and we'd find a host of things to try within minutes of my forst post, but it seems I was wrong.
If we get the job we could always refer that part to the lead expert that will be doing the hidden gutters and other lead work.
Thanks muchly for all the advice given here, again 'if' we get the job, photos and measurements will follow. 😉

Good luck, one of those jobs you kind of don't want but do for the experience, whatever you do it is likely to be a bit of an adaption but at least the joint will be in the right direction of flow & the heat shrink should not crush the lead, as said before just don't like em rubber & jubilee joints.
 
Joe you're getting confused pal. The pipe installed by the builder was indeed 110 soil and at the front of the building running internally and behind all those soundproof boards.

The lead rainwater that needs rerouting is in the opposite corner on the stairwell and is definately omly about 70mm.
 
just use the right sized fernco m8 there used every where now even on new builds once you get it tighted on to the lead you could even dress the edge of the lead out a bit from inside the coupling but doubt if you need to

done a few lead soil stuff but never downpipes, i am sure you can get a black rubber which fits in the lead but not sure if its as big as you need but you could allways use a flex seal which looks like this View attachment 15771
