Before You Buy
What to Check Before You Buy Gutter Guard
Gutter guard is a long-term buy. It's up on your roof for years, so it pays to ask a few questions before you commit.
Here's what we'd suggest checking with any installer, us included, so you can compare like for like and know what you're getting.
01 / What You Get
Questions Worth Asking
What's the Mesh Made Of?
Ask about the material and the coating. We use premium aluminium with the AkzoNobel D1010 finish.
Is the Guarantee in Writing?
A verbal promise is hard to hold. Ask for the installation and product guarantees on paper.
Is a Gutter Clean Included?
Fitting mesh over dirty gutters traps old debris. Ask whether a clean is included first.
Are They Fully Insured?
Work on your roof should be covered. Ask whether the installer is fully insured.

Aluminium and the Finish
Aluminium is light on your gutters and doesn't rust the way steel can, which is why we use it across our range. The finish matters too: our mesh carries the AkzoNobel D1010 coating, part of why the product guarantee runs to 15 years.
Colour-matched options are worth asking about as well. A mesh that matches your roof and gutters blends in, rather than sitting on top looking like an add-on.

Right Mesh, Right Roof
The best mesh for your home depends on your roof type and the trees around it. Expanded 3 x 4 mm mesh suits most homes for leaves and bird proofing, while woven 2 x 2 mm EmberGuard suits bushfire-prone areas.
A good installer looks before recommending. We check your roof and surroundings at the free on-site quote, then recommend one mesh with reasons.

Cheap vs Professional Gutter Guard
Bargain gutter guard can look like a saving on day one. The catch tends to show up later, when a thin clip-on mesh sags in a summer storm or the colour fades and the edges start to lift.
A professional install costs more up front and does more for it. You get premium aluminium, an on-site check of your roof, a free gutter clean before the mesh goes on, and written guarantees you can hold the installer to. That's the difference worth weighing before you buy.
