Gutter Guard · Doreen
Doreen's newer estates are still growing into their street trees and gardens, but even young plantings shed enough to block a gutter inside a season, and open blocks let wind-blown debris add to the load. Left blocked, a gutter overflows back under the roof edge, and even on a new build that overflow rots fascia and tracks moisture into the cavity. A mesh fitted over the gutters and valleys keeps things clear, letting water through while leaves and debris stay out. We match the mesh to your roof — concrete tile or Colorbond — sealed to the profile and valley lines. On the more exposed outer blocks, an ember-rated metal mesh is also worth considering.
Doreen sits on the open northern fringe, so gutters here collect wind-blown debris as much as leaf litter, and on the outer blocks an ember-rated mesh adds bushfire protection at the gutter line.
Local roof weather
Established tree canopy across parts of Doreen 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.
