Where gutter and leaf guards work well

• Keeping your gutters and downpipes flowing preventing frustrating and expensive water damage from heavy rain and thunderstorms.
• Bushfire prone areas – Fire resistant leaf guard can help reduce ember attack and bushfire risk to your property. This type of gutter guard is long lasting, complies with council regulations and can be colour matched to your roof. It will help you complete your Bush Fire Survival Plan as recommended by the NSW Rural Fire Service.
• Rain harvesting to fill your water tanks. A guard helps maximise your catchment of rainwater flowing into your tanks.
• Helps prevent birds, possums and other vermin nesting in your gutters and roof cavity.
• Removable guard with a 15 year product warranty. Its major advantage is that it can be easily removed for cleaning and then replaced again. This product is not 100% effective at keeping out debris, however it will keep you gutters flowing and prolong time between cleans.
• Gutters with the right leaf guard installation will last 2 -3 times longer if maintained correctly.
• Specific types of installations can also be used in situations such as schools to keep balls and thrown objects out of the gutters. Our record so far is cleaning 82 tennis balls out of a 2 storey downpipe.

Below is some honest and proven gutter guard and leaf guard information that some companies aren’t forthcoming with or don’t have enough industry experience to know.

All gutter guards require maintenance

The perception is that if you have a gutter guard installation then you will never have to clean your gutters again – this is incorrect. With 23 years’ industry experience in Sydney, we have seen tens of thousands of buildings with gutter guard and all of them require maintenance—some more than others.

Leaf litter will still build up on your roof, in your valleys and on top of the guard. Some companies will advertise that their product keeps out the leaves and sticks but fail to mention the silt accumulating in the bottom of the gutter. Over a period of 2 – 4 years, dust or fine particles from trees, city pollution and construction sites will settle on your roof. When it rains, this dust washes through into your gutters forming a build-up of silt. Small seeds make their way into this silt resulting in plants and moss growing in your gutters.

What to avoid

X Cheap plastic products commonly available from hardware stores: In a short period, it will perish and sag into the gutter adding to the problem you are trying to solve.
X Chicken wire: The aperture of the holes is too large letting seeds, sticks and small leaves into the gutter.
X A fixed leaf guard you can’t see through: If you can’t see through it then you can’t see the silt building up. This also makes it time consuming and expensive to clean out the accumulated silt.
X A fixed flat leaf guard installation inside the gutter: The leaf debris settles on the top and quickly breaks down through the guard, forming a thick layer of silt.
X We also don’t recommend having a permanently fixed gutter guard installation if you have unsealed concrete roof tiles, as these tiles shed a large amount of grit and it quickly builds up into silt underneath the guard.

• If you’re not sure if gutter guard might work for you or need advice, contact us and one of our friendly team members can meet you at your property to discuss your options.

How to maintain a gutter with an installed guard

We complete this maintenance after a period of dry weather so that any silt or build-up can be blown out of the gutters. We don’t recommend flushing gutters with water as this only shifts the silt down the system into the stormwater lines increasing the possibility of expensive blockages.

If you have gutter guard or leaf guard installed and your gutters are blocked or over-grown with weeds, contact us and we’ll visit your property and discuss your options.
