get some mesh and make a leaf guard 

[Tim Rose]

It's fora customer and needs to look a bit more 'professional', like a neat bubble of wire.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

Oh, it's also got to be able to be put in from the ground - no ladders!!!

google gutter leaf gaurd

Hmm, yes, that throws up lots of fancy gutter protection systems.  Do you know, I think the thing I'm after would be found in an old ironmonger's shop, next to the bird feed.

That'll be a nesting box then

That's it!  Get a blackbird to make a nest in the top of the downpipe!  That'll stop any leaves going down it!

That was a joke by the way, I would never do this as I dont play tennis.

Done the usual searches on the web.
