Gutter Guard · Caulfield
Caulfield's heavy canopy of established plane trees, elms and other street trees is one of the suburb's defining features — and one of the hardest things on a gutter. Leaf litter builds up in the gutters and valleys for most of the year, not just in autumn, and on period homes those gutters often sit behind ornate fascia above a full storey, making them awkward and risky to clear by ladder. A blocked gutter overflows back under the roof edge, rotting the fascia, or backs up into the roof space entirely. Gutter guard solves it: a mesh fitted over the gutter and valley lines keeps leaf litter out while letting water through freely. We match the mesh to the roof's tile profile and fit it discreetly, which matters on a period streetscape where the roofline is part of the home's character.
Caulfield's dense canopy of mature street trees sheds into gutters and valleys for most of the year, so on a period home with high, hard-to-reach gutters, guard that seals the valley lines is what actually stops the overflow and leaks.
Local roof weather
Established tree canopy across parts of Caulfield drops enough leaf litter to choke a gutter in a season, and with rain on around ~125 days a year, an overflowing gutter quickly finds its way into the roof.

The process
We look at the tile profile, valleys and gutter line, and the surrounding trees, to choose the right mesh and fixings.
Aperture and material are matched to the debris and, in fire-prone areas, to ember-guard requirements.
The mesh is fitted to follow the tile profile and seal the gutter and valley lines so debris cannot get underneath.
We photograph the completed install at gutter level so you have a record of the mesh-to-tile interface for warranty.
The mesh is matched to your roof: profiled tiles have a larger gap under the front edge than flat tiles, so the guard has to seal against that profile correctly or it lets debris straight through. Valleys and the gutter line both need covering to actually keep the roof clear.
Gutter guard is installed by an insured team and the workmanship is backed by a 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee and a 10-Year Dulux Acratex Material Warranty.
