Bundle gutter guard installation with roof cleaning for great savings – request a quote now
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.

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.
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


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.

Every home is different, so we come out, get up on the roof and measure properly. You get a fixed written quote, free, covering the right mesh for your trees and, if your home is bushfire rated, the right ember guard for your BAL rating.
