Leaking gutter repair
Dripping joints, corners and stop ends resealed or re-made so water goes down the downpipe, not the wall.
Fix a leaking gutter
From a single dripping joint to a full gutter and downpipe replacement, we look after homes and buildings across Ashfield 2131. Tell us what is happening and we will come back with a clear price and the earliest available time.
Victorian and Federation houses and inter-war bungalows, with a large number of 1960s-70s unit blocks. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. Whether you are near Liverpool Road, Ashfield Park and Ashfield Mall or elsewhere in the 2131 postcode, the process is the same: send the details, get a price, choose a time.
Many homes in Ashfield date from the Federation and inter-war years and were built with ogee or quad gutters on timber fascias. Swapping these for a modern square profile changes the look of the house and, in a heritage conservation area, may not be permitted. We replace like for like, matching the original profile and colour so the new gutter looks as if it has always been there.
For unit blocks in Ashfield we deal directly with the strata manager or building manager, supply a written scope with photos, and schedule work to minimise disruption to residents. Multi-storey gutter work needs proper height access, which we allow for in the quote rather than adding it afterwards.
A lot of homes in Ashfield still have gutters fitted decades ago, often galvanised steel that has been painted and patched more than once. When rust appears in several places along a run, replacing that section in Zincalume or Colorbond is usually cheaper over a few years than another round of patching.
Not sure if it needs repair or replacement? If the gutter is sound and the fault is in one place, a repair is the right call. Rust in several spots, or a gutter that has lost its fall, usually means replacing that run. We tell you which, with photos. Read our repair or replace guide.

Small repairs in Ashfield such as resealing a leaking joint or refixing a loose section generally cost around $150 to $350. Replacing a damaged section, or a full gutter replacement, is priced per metre and depends on the profile, the height of the building and access. Every job is quoted as a fixed price before work starts.
Most quote requests from Ashfield get a reply the same business day. Urgent leaks during wet weather are prioritised, and a temporary make-safe repair can often be done first with the permanent fix scheduled afterwards.
Yes. Traditional profiles such as ogee, quad and half round are still manufactured in Colorbond and Zincalume, so period homes in Ashfield can keep their original look. If your property is in a heritage conservation area under Inner West Council, like-for-like replacement is normally the safest approach.
Yes. We provide written quotes and photo reports for owners corporations and strata managers in Ashfield, and can arrange height access for multi-storey blocks.
Ashfield is in the Inner West Council local government area. Replacing existing gutters and downpipes like for like is generally exempt development in NSW and does not need council approval. Heritage-listed properties and homes in conservation areas can have extra requirements, so check with council first if that applies to you.
