Gutter Guard · Harcourt
Harcourt doesn't have the heavy street-tree canopy of Melbourne's older inner suburbs, but between the township's garden trees and the surrounding orchard land, gutters still collect a steady load of leaves, blossom and windblown debris through the year. On the drier, more open rural-residential blocks, dust and dry vegetation add to the mix. A blocked gutter backs water up under the roofline instead of carrying it away, which over time can work into the eaves and fascia, even in a lower-rainfall area like this. Gutter guard fits a mesh over the gutter that lets water through while keeping debris out, cutting down how often gutters need clearing across both the older township cottages and the outlying rural properties.
Harcourt's orchard surrounds and township garden trees still drop enough leaf and blossom debris to block gutters, even though the drier climate means less rainfall to flush lighter blockages through on its own.
Local roof weather
Established tree canopy across parts of Harcourt drops enough leaf litter to choke a gutter in a season, and with rain on around ~95 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.
