How does wild stuff cause a mudslide? Did they add soil for growing things?

Assuming your lease doesn’t include responsibility for dealing with drains external to your property I would request the freeholder arranges a repair and sorts their shit out.
Asking you to arrange the repair is complete bollocks. Unless there is something specific to this in your lease do not agree to it.
You can then challenge the costs later on when the accounts are done.

Got a bit of a weird situation - my neighbour and freeholder is a forest school, and they’ve let part of their garden grow super wild. It’s next to our bedroom and bathroom, and this corner has a grate that our shower and washing machine drain onto. The school’s wild stuff has resulted in a mud slide during the recent rain that has filled the drain, and we are without shower. We’re pretty sure they don’t know the drain is there, based on previous conversations.
School director is saying we can get dynorod round and he will reimburse from the sinking fund - since this is the school’s fuck up it seems a bit unfair to use the fund that we and upstairs flat pay into. Am I justified in thinking that?
Since it caused pretty significant flooding I’m also a bit worried about the foundations but maybe I’m being melodramatic
