Gutter Guard
in Strathmore.
Strathmore's established street trees, typical of this inner-north pocket near Essendon, drop leaf litter into gutters throughout the year, and on period homes with original terracotta tile, blocked gutters can back water up under aged ridge capping that's already had decades to weaken.

What blocked gutters do to a Strathmore roof
Strathmore's established street trees, typical of this inner-north pocket near Essendon, drop leaf litter into gutters throughout the year, and on period homes with original terracotta tile, blocked gutters can back water up under aged ridge capping that's already had decades to weaken. Leaf Stopper guttering mesh keeps that debris out while still letting water through, cutting down how often gutters need clearing and reducing the risk of overflow finding its way into older roof spaces.
Strathmore's tree-lined period streets mean gutters here fill with leaf litter at a steady rate year-round, which matters more on older homes where roof spaces are more vulnerable to water damage.
Local roof weather
Roof weather in Strathmore
Established tree canopy across parts of Strathmore drops enough leaf litter to choke a gutter in a season, and with rain on around ~115 days a year, an overflowing gutter quickly finds its way into the roof.

The process
How we fit gutter guard
2
Select the mesh
Aperture and material are matched to the debris and, in fire-prone areas, to ember-guard requirements.
3
Install to the profile
The mesh is fitted to follow the tile profile and seal the gutter and valley lines so debris cannot get underneath.
4
Finish & document
We photograph the completed install at gutter level so you have a record of the mesh-to-tile interface for warranty.
Roof types in Strathmore
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.
Our standard
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.

What Melbourne homeowners say
Strathmore gutter guard — your questions
Yes — older Strathmore homes often have roof spaces and eaves that are more vulnerable to water damage, and keeping gutters clear with protection reduces the risk of overflow finding its way in.
In most cases, yes — Leaf Stopper mesh is fitted to your existing gutter profile, and we assess compatibility with older or period-style gutters as part of the quote.
With established street trees on most blocks, unprotected gutters can fill more than once a year, particularly during autumn leaf-drop, which is when overflow risk is highest.
