Gutter Guard

Gutter guard for homes under gum trees and plane trees.

Blocked gutters overflow into eaves and walls, rot fascia boards and give birds and possums a place to nest. A properly fitted mesh keeps leaves on top and water flowing below.

What it is & why it matters

Understanding gutter guard

Victorian streets are full of eucalypts, plane trees, oaks and pittosporum, and each drops a different kind of debris. We choose a mesh aperture and profile that suits what lands on your roof, and fit it to your roof type, whether that is tile, Colorbond or Klip-Lok.

Before installing anything, we clean out the gutters and check falls and downpipes. Guard on top of a gutter that does not drain only hides the problem, so any sagging or leaking sections are flagged first.

Our process

How we do it, step by step

You will know what is happening on your roof at every stage. We share photos as we go so nothing is hidden behind the gutter line.

See our work in the gallery
  1. Measure & assess

    We measure gutter runs, check the roof profile and note nearby trees.

  2. Clean out

    Gutters are emptied and downpipes flushed so you start clean.

  3. Fit the frame & mesh

    Mesh is secured along the gutter and tucked or fixed to the roof edge to suit tiles or metal sheeting.

  4. Seal valleys & edges

    Valleys and gaps where leaves would otherwise sneak in are covered.

  5. Water test

    We run water through to confirm it drains, then show you the finished run.

Before you book

Good to know

Not maintenance-free

Gutter guard greatly reduces cleaning, but a light brush-off of the mesh now and then keeps it working best.

Bushfire areas

If you are in a bushfire-prone area, ask about metal mesh options suited to ember protection.

Existing damage first

Rusted or sagging gutters should be repaired or replaced before guard goes on.

Questions

Gutter Guard FAQs

Does gutter guard work on tiled roofs?

Yes. On tiles, the mesh is fitted under or over the bottom row of tiles, depending on the profile, so leaves cannot slip behind it.

Will it stop birds?

It closes off the gutter as a nesting spot, which is often where birds and pests get started.

How long does installation take?

A typical house is usually completed in a day.
