While by no means the only culprits, our beautiful Australian eucalypt trees are a disaster for your gutters. Throughout the year they constantly shed leaves and twigs and around flowering time there is pollen, flowers and gum nuts. Your gutters require constant attention.

If you are sick of climbing up a ladder and scooping leaves out of your gutters, there may be an answer for you. Gutter guards and covers are essentially designed to act as a filter over your gutters in an attempt to block debris from entering your downpipes without inhibiting the gutter's ability to draw water away from the roof. Prevention is always a better option than repairing, so be smart and make sure that you take steps to ensure your home can withstand the coming rains. Leafshield offers a wide range of products to assist with the sometimes dangerous job of cleaning gutters.

There are many different types of gutter guards that can generally be divided into the categories of screens, inserts and reverse curves. The type you need will depend on your home's location as certain types of gutter guard are better suited to different circumstances.

No matter where you are though, the installation of a quality gutter guard will stop you having to constantly clean your gutters and downpipes. Blocked downpipes are the most common cause of overflowing gutters and during the dry season they can contribute to your home's fire risk. Don't hesitate – call us today!

This may seem like a big investment initially, but it can save you money by reducing professional cleaning costs. On the other hand, if you are used to cleaning the gutters yourself, it can save you time and effort, not to mention eliminate the risks that come with standing on a ladder or climbing on your roof.

However, although having gutter guards and hoods dramatically reduce the number of times your gutters will need cleaning, experts still recommend cleaning your gutters at least once every two years. Since a thorough cleaning will require removing the guards, you will want to choose gutter guards that are both easy to remove and easy to replace for the utmost efficiency.
