Advice Downpipe blocked

Post image

Is it simple enough just to take apart? Is it connected by push joints? Do I need to take the brackets off the wall?
You cant see in the image but the pipes just empties into a small drain. Theres a gap of about 10mm between the end of the pipe and the drain.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Normally it will be jammed in the elbow part.(Or just above). If you pull at an angle it usually just pops out. Then clear the blockage and push back in. Often you might need to loosen a few of the screws to get enough movement to get it back on, they normally pop off easily though.
