Professional Gutter Guard Installation in Melbourne
Roof assessment, mesh selection and professional fitting for your home or commercial property.
Home » Gutter Guards » Gutter Guard Installation
Aussie Gutter Protection installs gutter guard for Melbourne homes and commercial properties. We assess your roof profile, gutter layout, access and the leaves or birds causing problems before recommending a suitable mesh system.
Our installation process includes inspecting and cleaning the gutters, selecting the mesh, and fitting it to the gutter and roof. Valleys, box gutters and other details need their own assessment; ask your estimator to identify exactly what your quote covers.

What to Expect on Installation Day
See how our team prepares your gutters, fits the mesh and finishes the job.
Step 1: Guttering Inspection
- Integrity of the gutter system
- Lull and dips in the guttering
- Roof pitch
- Roof Type (metal roof or tile roof)
- Roof size
- Roof materials
- Bird proofing or vermin proofing areas and requirements
- Property accessibility
- Surrounding vegetation
- Safety considerations
Step 2: Gutter Guard System Selection
After the physical property inspection, our estimators discuss your needs, budget and property requirements. Our inspection is a no-obligation free quote with flexible pricing options.
Our estimators consider whether homeowners:
- Require certain materials: poly, galvanised or stainless steel, aluminium gutter guard;
- Need leaf guard or ember guard;
- Need Bushfire BAL rated products;
- Need a gutter guard for water harvesting collection; and
- Need bird proofing.
Get a professional with industry accreditation.
Step 3: Gutter Cleaning
Our gutter guard technicians always clean your guttering systems before we attach the gutter guard to your roof. Our gutter cleaning is vital to ensure the system works effectively and efficiently. Our in-depth gutter cleaning includes:
- Removal of any large debris in the gutters. Using a small brush, sweep any medium-size debris, such as gum leaves or small twigs, out of the gutter.
- Using a hose to flush out the whole system.
- Check the downspout and downpipes for clogs and any lodged debris, and flush upwards.
For rainwater harvesting systems on properties, we ensure that we divert the water away from your rainwater tanks, so the debris from blocked gutters does not contaminate your collection system.
Step 4: Install Gutter Guard to the Gutter
Our installers measure and fit the mesh to each gutter section. Colour-matched trims secure the mesh at the gutter edge; the roof profile determines the fittings needed at the other edge.
See our Colorbond® gutter guard options. Wide gaps, parapets and box gutters need an assessment so the installation and any supporting components suit the roof.
Don’t risk your safety. Hire a professional gutter guard installer.
Step 5: Install Gutter Guard to the Roof
Our installers have an array of specialised techniques to install our gutter mesh to most roof types:
Corrugated Roofs – Our mesh is secured to the roof underneath a double ribbed saddle (developed by AGP) specific to that roofing.
Kliplok Roofs – Our mesh is secured to the roof underneath a double ribbed saddle (developed by AGP) specific to that roofing.
Trimdek Roofs – Our mesh is secured to the roof underneath a saddle specific to the roofing.
Tiled Roofs – Our mesh is tightly sealed in place under the second row of tiles.
At Aussie Gutter Protection, we can fit gutter guard to most roof types and have developed tailored gutter guard installation techniques for a range of roofs. Please get in touch to find out more.
Step 6: Fitting Gutter Guards to Valleys
For a complete solution, our installers will fit a gutter guard to your valleys to prevent infiltration of leaves and organic debris in the gutter guard system from valley blockages and build-up. The roof valleys can be complex and less accessible than guttering, especially for a tiled roof, making DIY installation challenging. Hiring an installer can ensure the system is correctly applied and you remain safe on the ground.

FAQS
What is a gutter guard and how does it work?
Gutter guard is mesh fitted over a gutter to screen leaves and other debris while allowing rainwater through. Performance depends on the mesh, roof details and installation. Fine debris can still collect, so inspection and maintenance remain important.
Why should I hire a professional instead of DIY?
A professional can assess roof access, select compatible mesh and fittings, and plan how to cover gutters and valleys. Roof work involves fall risks; ask about the installation method, scope and written warranty before proceeding.
What steps are involved in your installation process?
The process covers roof and gutter assessment, mesh selection, gutter cleaning, and fitting the mesh to the gutter and roof. Valleys and box gutters should be identified in your quote where relevant. Watch the installation-day video above for an overview.
Which roof profiles can you install on?
We assess tiled and metal roof profiles, including corrugated, Klip-Lok and Trimdek roofs. Box gutters, parapets and unusual roof details need a tailored assessment. Tell us your roof type when requesting a quote.
Do you clean the gutters first?
Yes. Our installation process includes removing debris and cleaning the gutters before fitting mesh. Ask your estimator about existing blockages, repairs and any work that falls outside the installation quote.
Will the guard match my Colorbond® roof?
We offer colour-matched mesh and fittings for a range of roof profiles. Ask us to confirm the available colour and material for your roof. Explore our Colorbond® gutter guard options.
Are the products bushfire-compliant?
If your property has bushfire requirements, ask us for the relevant product documentation and installation details before choosing a system. Suitability needs to be checked for your property. See our certification and compliance information.
What warranties do you provide?
Material and workmanship warranties have different scopes and conditions. Ask for the written terms for your chosen mesh and installation, including any maintenance requirements. Read our warranty and support information.
Does gutter guard eliminate all future cleaning?
No. Gutter guard can reduce debris entering the gutter, but it does not remove the need for inspection and maintenance. Leaves can collect above the mesh and fine debris can enter the system. Ask for a maintenance plan suited to the trees, roof access and conditions around your property.
What affects the cost of gutter guard installation?
The length of guttering, roof profile, building height, safe access, mesh choice and any valleys or box gutters affect the quote. Existing gutter problems may require separate work. For a useful comparison, ask each installer to specify the materials, cleaning, fittings and areas included. Read our gutter guard cost and value guide.
What information should I provide for a quote?
Provide your suburb or postcode, roof type and the main problem you want to solve. Mention access restrictions, solar panels and any known gutter damage. Roof or gutter photos can help the team understand the job. Request a free installation quote.
