Thornbury's mature street trees along Station Street and toward the Merri Creek drop a steady load of leaf litter into gutters each autumn, and on the suburb's Edwardian homes those gutters can still be a genuine ladder job even with the slightly more generous blocks.

What blocked gutters do to a Thornbury roof
Thornbury's mature street trees along Station Street and toward the Merri Creek drop a steady load of leaf litter into gutters each autumn, and on the suburb's Edwardian homes those gutters can still be a genuine ladder job even with the slightly more generous blocks. A blocked gutter overflows back under the roof edge and rots the timber, or backs up into the roof as a leak. Gutter guard keeps the leaves out: a mesh over the gutters and valleys lets water through while debris stays on top. On Thornbury's terracotta roofs we fit it neatly to suit the period profile.
Thornbury's established street trees near the Merri Creek corridor drop enough litter each autumn that gutter guard earns its keep, even on the suburb's more accessible blocks.

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 Thornbury
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.
