Gutter Guard Helensburgh & Stanwell Park

Homes in Helensburgh and Stanwell Park sit hard against the escarpment and the Royal National Park. That means gum leaves in the gutters all year, embers in fire season, and salt air coming up off the cliffs. Illawarra Maintenance Group fits Karben aluminium mesh gutter guard made for exactly those conditions.

    Built for the escarpment

    The tall gums and turpentines along Lawrence Hargrave Drive and the ridge above Helensburgh drop leaves, bark and seed pods every month of the year. Small eucalypt leaves slip through cheap plastic guard and pack down in the gutter. We only fit aluminium mesh, so it stays flat, holds its shape in the sun and keeps even small leaves sitting on top, where wind and rain clear them.

    Ready for bush fire season

    Much of Helensburgh, Otford and Stanwell Park is mapped as bush fire prone land. Dry leaves in a gutter are one of the easiest ways for embers to get a hold on a house. Aluminium mesh does not burn or melt the way plastic does, and the NSW Rural Fire Service recommends metal gutter guards for homes near bush.

    If your home has a bushfire rating, we can fit our ember guard option, which suits homes rated BAL-12.5, BAL-19 and BAL-29. Not sure of your rating? Check your address on the NSW Rural Fire Service website, or ask us at the quote. Bushfire and ember guard

    Salt air on the coast

    Stanwell Park and Coalcliff take sea spray straight off the water. Aluminium mesh and our Colorbond matched trims will not rust, so the guard still looks right years later. It is the same reason we never use steel mesh on coastal homes.

    What is included

    • Karben aluminium mesh from Karben Industries, an Australian-owned company based in Wyong NSW. Choose from 1.9 mm woven, 3.5 mm or 3.5 mm heavy-duty mesh. We recommend the one that suits your trees and your bushfire rating.
    • Colorbond matched trims to suit your roof colour, on steel (Colorbond, corrugated, Klip-Lok, Trimdek) or tiled roofs.
    • Drone photos of the finished job, so you can see your whole roof.

    Questions from Helensburgh homeowners

    Our Testimonials

    I highly recommend Mathew, the workmanship was exceptional, very professional and everything was left neat and tidy. He explained how he approached the job and found a problem with the back gutter which took longer than expected but stuck by his quote. He is an absolute professional and gentleman.

    Stephen James

    Matt did a great job cleaning our gutters and doing a full replacement of our gutter guards which had been installed incorrectly. He also treated the lichen on our roof and dealt with a wasp nest complementary. He was friendly, professional and really easy to deal with. We're really happy with the work he did.

    Lisa Francis

    I had been looking for a solution to birds gaining access to the inside of my roof from the gutters. After some messages and photos with Mathew we hashed out a solution and got a quote. Really great job done here and I would recommend Mathew if you have a similar issue with birds or leaves. He got his drone up and was able to really show me the awesome work he did.

    Ethan Jones

    We have just had our box gutter and gutters thoroughly cleaned by Matt. He also provided drone photos and detected a rusted hole and repaired it until we were able to call a roofer. The service was prompt and affordable. We would recommend their services.

    Valerie Sherrell

    I had the best experience. They are so professional, organised, honest and knowledgeable. Mathew did an incredible job with cleaning my gutters. Would definitely recommend.

    Noura
