Gutter Guard · Patterson Lakes
Patterson Lakes' curving streets follow the canal and lake network, and established gardens now filling in around the waterways shed a steady stream of leaf litter into gutters through the year. Left unchecked, that debris compacts into blockages that force water to overflow rather than run off, tracking moisture back under the roofline, an issue compounded by the extra humidity around the suburb's waterways. Leaf Stopper guttering mesh keeps that debris out while still letting water through, cutting down how often gutters need clearing.
Patterson Lakes' established gardens around the waterways mean gutter debris has grown noticeably as the suburb's 1980s and 90s plantings have matured, particularly on canal-front streets.
Local roof weather
Established tree canopy across parts of Patterson Lakes drops enough leaf litter to choke a gutter in a season, and with rain on around ~125 days a year, an overflowing gutter quickly finds its way into the roof.

The process
We look at the tile profile, valleys and gutter line, and the surrounding trees, to choose the right mesh and fixings.
Aperture and material are matched to the debris and, in fire-prone areas, to ember-guard requirements.
The mesh is fitted to follow the tile profile and seal the gutter and valley lines so debris cannot get underneath.
We photograph the completed install at gutter level so you have a record of the mesh-to-tile interface for warranty.
The mesh is matched to your roof: profiled tiles have a larger gap under the front edge than flat tiles, so the guard has to seal against that profile correctly or it lets debris straight through. Valleys and the gutter line both need covering to actually keep the roof clear.
Gutter guard is installed by an insured team and the workmanship is backed by a 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee and a 10-Year Dulux Acratex Material Warranty.
