Gutter Protection Systems for the Moreton Bay Region

Near the water, every part we fit is aluminium, and the mesh holes are small enough to keep pine needles and melaleuca litter out while the rain still gets through.

On the newer estates most roofs are metal, and we colour-match the mesh so it suits the look of the street. Where acreage backs onto bush, the finer 2 mm weave of our woven EmberGuard is usually the pick. All of it is finished in our proprietary coating.

Eight Moreton Bay suburbs have a page of their own: Redcliffe, Deception Bay, North Lakes, Mango Hill, Narangba, Burpengary, Morayfield and Caboolture. Each one, linked below, goes into that suburb's trees, roofs and weather in detail. Here's the short version, from the bay out to the highway.

Redcliffe sits out on the peninsula, where almost every home is within a few kilometres of open water. Salt settles on everything, Norfolk pines line the esplanade, and a lot of post-war homes have timber fascias right behind the gutter.

Deception Bay was mostly built from the 1970s on, so many homes still have concrete tile roofs and shallow quad gutters. The melaleuca wetland along the bay drops small, papery litter that sits in those gutters and stays wet.

North Lakes is a master-planned community, built from the late 1990s. The houses are modern, but the gums, melaleucas and callistemon kept around the lakes and parks shed leaf, bark and blossom through the whole year.

Mango Hill is really two places. Compact estate lots near the rail line, where the gutters are hard to get to, and older acreage under big spotted gums and blue gums, where the bark load is heavy.

Narangba was built into the bush. Tall gums stand inside the streets, often straight over the roof, so gum nuts and bark land in the gutters all year.

Burpengary has acreage where the house went in under the gums, and newer estates east of the highway where the trees are still young. On those estate homes, mesh fitted now stops the build-up before it starts.

Morayfield's estates went up through the 1990s and 2000s, and their street trees have now grown into the rooflines. The land is flat and low, so an overflowing gutter leaves water sitting against the slab.

Caboolture is the older town at the top of the corridor. Big gums on generous blocks, long gutter runs, and the full inland storm season arriving on gutters that have been filling since winter.
