What blocked gutters do to a Reservoir roof
Reservoir's established streets and park reserves mean plenty of trees, and plenty of leaf litter finding its way into gutters. A blocked gutter overflows back under the roof edge, rots the fascia and eventually shows up as a leak inside — and on the many first-floor gutters here, clearing them means a ladder and a Saturday. Gutter guard fixes both problems: a mesh fitted over the gutters and valleys keeps leaves and debris out while water flows through. We match the mesh to your tile profile so debris cannot slip under the front edge, cover the valley lines, and photograph the finished install so you have a record. On Reservoir's post-war tile roofs it is a straightforward, high-value job that ends the twice-a-year gutter clean.
With rain on around 120 days a year in Reservoir, a gutter choked with leaf litter overflows often — and every overflow runs back under the roof edge toward the fascia and the cavity, which is how blocked gutters turn into leaks.

Roof weather in Reservoir
Established tree canopy across parts of Reservoir drops enough leaf litter to choke a gutter in a season, and with rain on around ~120 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 Reservoir
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
Reservoir gutter guard — your questions
It dramatically cuts how often gutters need clearing and removes most of the ladder work, especially on first-floor gutters. Fine grit can still pass any mesh, so it is a big reduction rather than never again.
Not when the mesh is fitted to follow your tile profile and seal the valley and gutter lines. A guard that does not seal against the profile is the main reason cheap installs still let debris through.
Yes, indirectly. Most gutter-related leaks come from overflow when a gutter blocks and water backs up under the roof edge. Keeping the gutter clear stops that overflow, a common cause of fascia rot and cavity leaks.
