How can I keep my guttering pipe in place?
I have a long straight gutter coming down from the roof onto a flat roof where it joins a 90-degree guttering pipe which goes into another that connects into another that runs off a flat roof - the question is the 90-degree one keeps coming off, what can I do to keep it in place?

Small screw.
Sean Saunders, Sean Saunders Painting & Decorating, Sherborne
As Ajw said small screw, keeping the screw high as not to leak.
Arthur Cooper, Aintree Roofing Services, Liverpool
If it's PVC guttering you're talking about, a strong PVC solvent glue will work or if it's metal, it may need to be fixed into position with brackets.
Gareth Styles, GJS Roofing and Building Maintenance Ltd, Salisbury
A small screw or a silicon seal through the collar.
