GUTTER GUARD Questions
Polypropylene can be the ideal material for Melbourne roofs as it suits our milder climate and is non-corrosive. In extreme heat regions like Queensland metal is often the choice. But metal guards can react with metal roofs (electrolysis) or rust over time, especially in coastal suburbs. Our high-grade Polypropylene is UV-stabilized, meaning it won’t rapidly become brittle in the summer sun, and it has the flexibility required to contour perfectly to your roof without lifting.
In most cases, with standard fascia gutters, yes absolutely! The “rolled-in” system is highly versatile. We can install our mesh on roofs with standard concrete tiles, slate, terracotta tiles, corrugated iron (Colorbond), and deck roofing. The mesh is flexible.
Yes. The mesh is uniquely designed to keep leaves out of the gutter while allowing unrestricted water flow. The mesh surface is made up of thousands of small apertures (holes) that are carefully sized and spaced for superior water drainage. The mesh is also quite heavy — approximately 1kg per m2, which is heavier than many steel and aluminium meshes — and can withstand strong winds and heavy downpours.

Services Info
While no system is “set and forget” forever, GBL Gutter Guards will significantly reduce maintenance. The mesh prevents large debris like leaves and twigs from entering the gutter. Over time, fine dust or pollen may enter, but this can flush out with rain. We recommend a minimum of one simple visual inspection once a year, rather than the dangerous, frequent cleaning required without guards. For areas with higher leaf fall more checks will be needed, feel free to ask us what we think is best in your situation.
Yes, we can certainly help with any repairs and replacement. If your existing gutter guards need repositioning, fixing or just a general clean and maintenance, please contact us.
Yes, this is essential — we need to inspect your gutters and ensure they’re clean before installation, otherwise we’d potentially be ‘locking in’ blockages, which could prove disastrous.
