Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does gutter guard installation cost?
We price gutter guard on site, because the cost depends on the length of your gutters, your roof type and how much tree cover sits over the house. We measure up, check the fall of your gutters and give you a firm price instead of a rough guess over the phone. The quote's free, with no obligation. A professional install costs more upfront than a gutter clean. It gets you premium aluminium, a free gutter clean before the mesh goes on, and written guarantees.
Do you clean the gutters first?
Yes. We clean your gutters before every installation, at no extra cost, so your new gutter guard starts on a clear, clean base.
Can I book a gutter clean without gutter guard?
Yes. Gutter cleaning is a job on its own with us. We clear out the leaves, twigs and sludge, then check the water runs to the downpipe. You don't need gutter guard fitted, and the quote is free.
How much does a gutter clean cost?
It depends on the house: its size, how many storeys it has and how full the gutters are. So we quote each job instead of giving a flat rate, and the quote costs nothing.
Is gutter guard suitable for tile roofs?
Yes. Our systems suit tile roofs. We check your roof type during the free on-site quote and recommend the right mesh for it.
Is gutter guard suitable for metal roofs?
Yes. Our systems suit metal roofs, including Colourbond-compatible options that match your roof colour.
Does gutter guard stop birds and possums?
Our mesh is designed to help keep birds, possums and other pests out of your gutters and roofline. Here's what gutter mesh can and can't do about birds and possums.
Will gutter guard handle gum leaves and storm debris?
Yes. Our aluminium mesh is built for local conditions, from gum and jacaranda leaf drop to the debris that subtropical storms wash across your roof. It keeps that build-up out of your gutters so water can flow.
What's the difference between expanded and woven mesh?
Hole size and how they're made. Expanded mesh has 3 mm holes for leaves and bird proofing. Woven EmberGuard is a tighter 2 mm woven aluminium gutter and valley guard that keeps out finer debris too. It's the one we usually suggest for homes that back onto bushland.
Do you have a mesh for bushfire-prone areas?
Yes. Our Premium Woven Aluminium EmberGuard is a 2 mm woven aluminium gutter and valley guard. Aluminium is non-combustible, and that's what AS 3959 asks of gutter guard in bushfire-prone areas, at every Bushfire Attack Level. Vents and eave gaps fall under a separate rule, so ask us about those when we quote.
Can the gutter guard be colour-matched?
Yes. Colour-matched options are available across our range, and we confirm the match against your roof and gutters at the free on-site quote.
Do you install gutter guard on commercial buildings?
Yes. The same premium aluminium system we fit on homes suits commercial rooflines with tile or metal roofs. We assess each building at a free on-site quote.
How long is your gutter guard guarantee?
Every gutter guard install comes with four separate guarantees, all in writing: a 25-year full system guarantee, a 20-year workmanship guarantee, a 10-year no blocked gutter guarantee and a 10-year coating guarantee against fading. There's more on each one on our guarantees page.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Every quote is free, with no obligation. For gutter guard we come out and quote on site, so the price is accurate.
What areas do you service?
Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast are our three main regions. We also get out to Ipswich, the Lockyer Valley and Toowoomba, and right through Logan, the Redlands and Moreton Bay. You'll find every area we've written up, sorted by region, on our service areas page.
