What can be done when a neighbour is reluctant to replace a stop end on a semidetached gutter?

Question

I wrote to my neighbour highlighting his cast iron gutter on the back of his semi detached house is missing a stop end.

This means every heavy downpour, water empties over my side of the semidetached house brick wall above the damp proof course.The leaking water has started to rot our french door's wood frame and has rotted a boundry fence that we own and have replaced to their benifit.

However, the neighbour in knowing all this is in no hurry to fix the leak causing damp to both his own and our house wall.

Ashame when winter is almost upon us now.

Does anyone know what can be done in this situation other than replace the missing stop end for him at my own expense which he would not like ? But this would remedy the leak .

Thanks in anticipation of any answers
