FAQs
Why are upgraded leaf guards important for homes in Newcomb?
Newcomb’s leafy streets and coastal winds mean gutters frequently fill with gum leaves, twigs, and airborne debris. Upgraded leaf guards form a physical barrier that stops this build-up, allowing rainwater to flow freely to the downpipes. This prevents overflowing gutters, fascia rot, foundation erosion, and mosquito breeding, while also reducing ladder work and cleaning costs for homeowners.
How can I tell if I should replace my gutters instead of just repairing them?
Look for rust patches, flaking paint, sagging sections, joint separations, or water marks on the siding. If more than 25 % of the system is affected, or if repairs have been carried out twice within five years, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective. We offer free roof-edge inspections in Newcomb to confirm the extent of damage and provide a written recommendation.
What gutter and leaf-guard materials do you install?
We install Colorbond® and zinc-aluminium (ZINCALUME®) steel gutters in high-front quad, square-line, and half-round profiles to match local architectural styles. Leaf guards are available in powder-coated aluminium mesh (2 mm ember-resistant for BAL-rated homes) or stainless-steel micro-mesh for maximum filtration. All materials meet Australian Standard AS 1397 for corrosion resistance and carry CSIRO fire-test certification.
What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?
1. Site assessment and precise measurement. 2. Custom roll-forming of gutters on site to eliminate joins. 3. Safe removal and recycling of old gutters. 4. Installation of new brackets at 1-metre centres for correct fall. 5. Fitting of new gutters, sealed corners, and purpose-cut downpipes. 6. Attachment of leaf-guard mesh tucked under the first roof tile or beneath metal roof sheets. A typical single-storey Newcomb home is completed in one day; double-storey or complex rooflines may take two.
Will new gutters and leaf guards add value to my property?
Yes. A modern, rust-free roof-edge instantly boosts street appeal, while the low-maintenance benefit is attractive to buyers and tenants. Real-estate agents estimate a 2–3 × return on every dollar spent on visible exterior upgrades such as gutters, fascia, and roofing accessories. In addition, preventing water damage saves on future repair bills, protecting long-term property value.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance support after installation?
All gutter replacements in Newcomb come with a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty on Colorbond® steel and a 10-year workmanship guarantee from our licensed roof plumbers. We provide a complimentary 12-month inspection to ensure correct performance and can set up biennial maintenance plans that include roof-edge flushing and fastener checks at a discounted rate for our installation clients.
