Excess debris, water leaks, and pests will impact your roof's ability to drain water. Routine roof inspections and gutter repairs are essential to prevent damage to your roof and home.
Why healthy roof gutters are important
Roof Drainage
All the water that flows down the roof has to go somewhere, and gutters make sure that it isn't down the side of your walls, windows, and doors.
Water Seepage
When drains don't perform as required, excess storm water may seep into the roof and down the inside of walls. Storm water can also seep into floors and foundations, causing serious structural damage.
Excess Moisture
Blocked gutters can become moats of water that surround the roof line. This weight can cause the gutters to sag, and can cause mould and rot in the timber structures of the roof.
Pests
Faulty or blocked roof gutters can become a habitat for pests like invasive insects and birds that can be a nuisance to the occupants and cause further damage to the home.

Top Priority Gutter Repairs
A routine inspection of a guttering system is recommended to repair urgent issues and keep the gutters working efficiently.
Buildup of leaves and debris
Excess debris will cause the gutters to corrode, sag, and become a home to unwanted pests.
Blocked downpipes
A blocked downpipe will cause water to backflow up the gutters, negating their function and causing overflows.
Sagging gutters
Sagging gutters cannot drain water and end up holding excess weight. This can damage the roof fascia and other structures.
Damaged gutters
Gutters can rust, corrode, crack, warp, and lose their ability to move water away from the house. A health check will spot any issues that will get worse over time.
Frequently Asked Gutter Repairs
Ask a question about Gutter Repairs
How often should I clean my gutters?
We advise cleaning your gutters twice a year - once after autumn and once after spring. However, the frequency depends on several factors:
1. Amount of tree cover around your home 2. Proximity to evergreen or deciduous trees 3. Local wind conditions 4. Surrounding dust and debris levels
1. Long-term clogging 2. Incorrect gutter pitch during installation 3. Additional weight from debris build-up 4. Failure of gutter spikes or hangers
Can I repair gutters myself?
While some minor repairs can be DIY, it's often recommended to hire professionals. Working on a ladder can cause serious injury or fatality. Common DIY-friendly tasks include:
1. Removing debris 2. Checking for loose fasteners 3. Minor cleaning
How do I know when to replace my gutters?
Consider gutter replacement if you notice:
1. Extensive rust or corrosion 2. Persistent leaking 3. Significant sagging 4. Repeated clogging 5. Improper water drainage 6. Visible damage to gutter sections
Professional maintenance and gutter inspections can help prevent major gutter problems and extend the life of your roof and gutters.
