Gutter Guard · Eltham
On Eltham's heavily treed blocks, gutter guard is close to essential. The surrounding gums and natives drop a relentless load of leaf, bark and twig into gutters and valleys, and in a bushfire-prone suburb a gutter full of dry litter is a real ember risk. Blocked gutters overflow back under the roof edge, rot fascia and cause leaks — and clearing them on a treed, sloping block is a genuine job. Gutter guard keeps the debris out: a mesh over the gutters and valleys lets water through while the litter stays on top. We match the mesh to your roof and, in fire-prone parts of Eltham, fit an ember-rated metal mesh that also blocks embers lodging at the roof edge.
Eltham's relentless gum and bark litter and its bushfire-prone setting make an ember-rated gutter guard doubly worthwhile — it keeps the constant debris out of the gutters and blocks embers at the roof edge.
Local roof weather
Established tree canopy across parts of Eltham drops enough leaf litter to choke a gutter in a season, and with rain on around ~130 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.
