What blocked gutters do to a Kew roof
Kew has some of the heaviest tree cover of any suburb we service, and that means gutters here fill with leaves and debris far faster than almost anywhere else on our books. Blocked gutters don't just overflow — they back water up under the roofline and into the eaves, which can lead to timber damage over time on homes that are already a century old in many cases. Leaf Stopper guttering mesh keeps that debris out while still letting water through, cutting down how often gutters need clearing and reducing overflow risk during heavy rain.
Kew's dense established tree canopy near the Yarra means unprotected gutters can block within weeks during peak leaf-drop, making gutter protection one of the highest-value jobs we do in this suburb.
Local roof weather
Roof weather in Kew
Established tree canopy across parts of Kew 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
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 Kew
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
Kew gutter guard — your questions
Given the dense tree canopy, unprotected gutters in Kew can block multiple times within a single season, especially during autumn leaf-drop, far more often than in suburbs with less tree cover.
Yes — older Kew 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.
Significantly — most Kew homeowners with protection installed go from clearing gutters several times a year to an occasional check, which matters given the overhanging branches on many blocks.
