Gutter Guards Birmingham Gardens

Gutter guards in Birmingham Gardens keep gum leaves, bark and storm wash-out of your spouting so the downpipes keep working through the wet months. We price the job first, fit guards to your existing gutters and flush the downpipes on the same visit. Guards are one of the jobs a plumber in Birmingham Gardens can take care of.

Why do these gutters fill so fast?

Three things load up the spouting here, and they come from the setting more than the house.

The gum canopy

Gums line the streets on the campus side, and eucalypts drop leaves and bark in every season.

Heavy bursts of rain

Average yearly rain is 1,076 millimetres, and much of it comes in intense coastal-trough storms that flush the whole roof into the gutter at once.

Low ground and small yard pipes

On lower-lying blocks with 1950s-sized stormwater, overflow from a gutter has little room to drain away.

A choked gutter becomes a drainage problem. Water spills down the fascia, gathers against the house and loads up the old stormwater pipes. Guards stop it at the roof.

How the fitting runs

  1. 01

    Look first

    We check the gutter's condition, its fall and each downpipe outlet before ordering, since guards on rusted spouting are wasted.

  2. 02

    Clean-out first

    Whatever sits in the spouting comes out, and the downpipes are flushed so the system starts clear.

  3. 03

    Profile matched to the roof

    Mesh, foam or leaf-screen profiles suit the roof material and debris type, then get cut and fixed to the gutter line.

  4. 04

    Downpipe check

    Each entry gets a hose test so water runs clean before we pack up.

What goes into the quote?

Guard pricing runs by the metre of gutter.

  • Metres of gutter around the roof
  • The guard profile you choose
  • A roof safe to walk, or work done from a ladder

Gutter Guards on Birmingham Gardens Cottages

Low rooflines, simple fitting

Cottages built here in fibro or weatherboard after the war have low-pitched roofs, which makes guards quick to fit from a ladder. Newer brick-veneer homes and units take the same profiles.

Owners who live elsewhere

Census figures put homes owned outright at 19.3 per cent, so many roofs belong to landlords who never climb a ladder there. Guards cut the upkeep on a rental with bushland gums close by.

When we're not the right call

Guards keep leaves out; they cannot fix a roof. If roof sheets have rusted through, or the gutter itself has holed, a roofer needs to replace them before guards go on. If downpipes empty into a blocked underground pipe, that is stormwater drain clearing.

Gutter Guard Questions

Do gutter guards suit the post-war cottages in Birmingham Gardens?

Yes. The gutters on these low fibro homes take standard guard profiles, fitted from a ladder. A gutter rusted through needs replacing by a roofer first.

Will guards stop the gum leaves from the campus-side streets?

They keep out leaves, twigs and bark, the bulk of what falls near the bushland campus. Fine grit can still wash in during storms, so a hose-out now and then is still worth doing.

Can a landlord book guards for a rental here without the tenants home?

Yes. Everything happens outside, so no one needs to be home. The tenant gets a message before we arrive.

Is there a warranty on the guards themselves?

Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work, which covers our fitting and workmanship.
