Hi and welcome, just to say that having two threads on the same subject is counter productive so I have deleted the other one.

you may have trees around your property?
this causes green moss on your roof also, you will find its blocked with that.
take off down pipe and rod it out.

It's a new extension about 8 months old with a flat roof + downpipe no trees around the building

I'm having trouble visualising situation. First gutter being 100 yds away from what ? and second is it gutter overflowing sewerage as it reads, or is it just overflowing at ground level where down pipe enters gully, which seems more likely.

hi,
youd be better off starting a new thread.
if you cant shove pigtail further down sewer to inspection manhole, then it needs pulling down with a ball of string and a means of trapping it to the pt then pulling it through. make sure line and snagging is firm enough though!
