Gutter Guard
in Forest Hill.
Forest Hill's established 1960s and 70s streets carry a moderate tree canopy that drops a steady load of leaves and seed pods into the gutters each year, and on this wetter fringe of Melbourne's east a blocked gutter overflows more often than it would in a drier suburb.

What blocked gutters do to a Forest Hill roof
Forest Hill's established 1960s and 70s streets carry a moderate tree canopy that drops a steady load of leaves and seed pods into the gutters each year, and on this wetter fringe of Melbourne's east a blocked gutter overflows more often than it would in a drier suburb. Once water backs up behind a blockage it can work its way under the roof edge and into the fascia, causing rot that's expensive to fix. Gutter guard fits a mesh over the gutter and valley lines that lets rainwater through while keeping leaves and debris on top, cutting down on the regular ladder-based clearing older homes here typically need.
Forest Hill's moderate tree canopy and higher-than-average rainfall combine to make blocked gutters overflow more often here than in a drier, less leafy Melbourne suburb, so guard pays off faster.
Local roof weather
Roof weather in Forest Hill
Established tree canopy across parts of Forest Hill drops enough leaf litter to choke a gutter in a season, and with rain on around ~135 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 Forest Hill
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
Forest Hill gutter guard — your questions
Yes — with rainfall running higher on this fringe of the foothills, a blocked gutter overflows more often than in a drier suburb, so keeping the mesh clear of leaves pays off faster here than average.
The mesh is fitted over valley lines as well as straight gutter runs, so debris that would otherwise dam up a valley during a downpour stays on top while water keeps flowing through underneath.
Under Forest Hill's moderate tree cover, most homes need gutters cleared once or twice a year to stay ahead of blockages. Guard removes that ongoing ladder work almost entirely.
