Gutter Guard · Highett
Highett's post-war brick veneer homes have gutters that collect a mix of garden leaf litter and windblown grit off the bay, and once that build-up blocks the flow, water overflows back under the roof edge instead of draining away. That overflow can rot fascia boards over time or push water up into the roof space as a leak, especially on original gutters that have never been fitted with protection. Gutter mesh solves this at the source: it sits across the gutter and valley lines, letting water pass through freely while leaves and debris stay on top, cutting down the need for regular ladder clean-outs.
Highett's bayside position means gutters collect windblown grit and salt residue alongside garden leaf litter, so even homes with only moderate tree cover benefit from keeping the gutter line protected.
Local roof weather
Established tree canopy across parts of Highett 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.
