A blocked gutter in Townsville does not simply overflow outside. It backs water up over the top of the fascia and in under the roof, which is why so many November ceiling stains turn out to be a leaf problem rather than a roof problem. We clear gutters and valleys by hand into a bucket rather than blowing debris onto the roof or into the downpipes, flush every downpipe until it runs clear, and check the fall while we are up there. You get photographs of each gutter run before and after, and a note of anything we saw that needs attention.

Included in the price

  • All gutters and valleys cleared by hand and bagged, not blown
  • Every downpipe flushed and flow-tested
  • Gutter fall and bracket condition checked
  • Photo report of each run before and after
  • Written note of any roof issue we spotted while up there

The promise

  • Five-year workmanship warranty on leak repairs. If the same leak comes back in that time, we fix it at no charge.
  • Ten-year workmanship warranty on full re-roofing, on top of the material manufacturer's own warranty on the sheeting or tile.
  • Every leak repair is hose-tested before we come off the roof, and the photos come to you the same day.

What it costs

$260 to $720

Single-storey houses run $260 to $480 depending on roof size and how much is in there; two-storey or high-set homes run $420 to $720, and a heavily treed block after a wet December sits at the top

Asked every week

Asked about this one.

When should I book it?
September to November, before the first storms. We fill that window early every year, so ringing in January means waiting behind the leak jobs.
How often do gutters need doing here?
Once a year for a clear block, twice for anything under gums or poincianas. Leaf drop in this town is heaviest just before the wet, which is the worst possible timing.

Reviews left for gutter cleaning and wet-season check.

  • Gutters had not been done in years and the ceiling was staining every storm. Turned out not to be the roof at all. Cleaned, flow-tested and photographed the lot, and the stain has not moved since.

  • On the care plan now. They come before and after the wet, send photos both times, and I have stopped thinking about the roof entirely, which I gather is the point.
