🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting gutter guards yourself? Here's what to know:
🔧 What you'll need
- Guards (correct size for gutter)
- Ladder and safety gear
- Tin snips for cutting
- Clean gutters first
📐 Installation steps
- Measure gutter run
- Clear all debris
- Cut guards to length
- Slot or clip in place
- Check water still flows
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Fitting over dirty gutters
- Wrong size for gutter profile
- Poor cuts leaving gaps
- Blocking water flow
💡 Pro trick: Test with a hose before finishing. Water should flow easily - if it's pooling, the guard is restricting flow.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do gutter guards really work?
For leaves and large debris, yes. They significantly reduce blockages and extend time between cleans. Fine material like moss and shingle can still get through - nothing's perfect, but much better than nothing.
What types of gutter guard are there?
Mesh guards, brush inserts, solid covers with channels. Each has pros and cons. We can advise on best type for your situation - depends on debris type, gutter profile, and budget.
Will I never need gutter cleaning again?
Less often, definitely. But guards themselves need occasional cleaning and checking. Think of them as reducing maintenance rather than eliminating it.
Can guards be fitted to any gutter?
Most plastic and metal gutters yes. Very old or unusual profiles may have limited options. We check first and advise on what works.
