Roof and exterior

Gutter Guard

Quality guard stops the big stuff and dramatically cuts the cleaning frequency, but no installer who tells you you will never clean again is being straight. We size the mesh to your roof and tree cover and we will not fit the plastic guard that shatters in three summers.

Scope

What this job includes.

  • Powder-coated aluminium mesh sized to your roof pitch, profile and leaf load, never a one-size box.
  • BAL-rated finer aperture for bushfire-zone blocks, sized to your zone so embers stay out of the gutter cavity.
  • Honest scope: guard cuts cleaning frequency, it does not end it, and we say so before you buy.
  • Fitted properly so a failed section is a workmanship fix, not your problem.
Our system: Powder-coated aluminium lasts decades; plastic guard goes brittle and shatters into your gutters within three to five subtropical summers. We will not fit plastic.
How we quote it

A written quote, built line by line.

The surface, the method for it, the scope and the realistic life span, all named so you can compare it like with like.

The 7-line quote
  1. 1 The surface, named. Tile or Colorbond, render or weatherboard, concrete or aggregate. We write down what we are actually working on, because the method follows the surface.
  2. 2 The method for that surface. Soft-wash biocide, degreaser dwell-time, the right nozzle. The right pressure for the surface, not a one-size blast.
  3. 3 The scope, in writing. Exactly what is included and what is not. A clean, a repair pathway, or both, named so you can compare quotes like with like.
  4. 4 The realistic life span. How long the result actually holds on this coast, and the maintenance cycle that keeps it there. No lifetime numbers.
  5. 5 Open items and the cap. Anything we cannot see until we are up there, flagged before we start, with a cap on what a variation can add to the invoice.
If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.
How it runs

What happens, step by step.

1

Tell us about the job

Call, or send a few photos through the form. Enough for us to see the surface, the condition and the access.

2

Walk-around or a photo quote

For most jobs a walk-around or your photos is enough. We diagnose whether you need a clean, a repair pathway, or both, before we quote.

3

A written plan and price

A real number on a written quote with the scope named, the realistic life span, and any open items flagged. No from $ guesses.

4

The job, done to the surface

We turn up when we say, pick the method for each surface, contain the run-off, and leave the place tidy.

5

The walk-through

We walk you over the finished work, hand over any photos, and tell you the maintenance cycle that keeps the result there.

Insured, covered, guaranteed

The paperwork behind the price.

Public liability insured, certificate on request, and a workmanship guarantee in writing, with the realistic product life span named upfront, all in writing, all on request.

Public liability cover protects you if something goes wrong on site, and the Work Safe at Heights ticket means the roof work is done by people trained for it. For building-type work we name the QBCC or NSW Fair Trading licence that applies by state. The workmanship guarantee is in writing, with the realistic product life span named upfront rather than a lifetime promise.

The cover, the guarantee, and how to check each one.
Questions, answered

Gutter Guard: common questions.

Does gutter guard mean I never have to clean my gutters again?
No, and any installer telling you otherwise is selling. Quality guard stops leaves, fronds, twigs and nests and dramatically reduces the cleaning frequency. Fine debris like gum pollen and cocos dust still settles on top and slowly composts, so a guarded gutter still gets a check every couple of years. Big improvement, not a magic fix.
Why aluminium mesh instead of the plastic guard at the hardware store?
Plastic guard gets brittle under UV in three to five subtropical summers and shatters into your gutters, adding to the problem. Powder-coated aluminium lasts decades. The product costs more but the total cost over the life of the house is much lower. We will not fit plastic.
