Mostly 1980s brick-veneer family homes. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. We regularly attend properties around Bangor Bypass and Menai Road, and throughout the Sutherland Shire Council area.

Bushfire-prone land and ember protection

With bushland close by, gutters in Bangor collect dry litter that becomes fuel in an ember attack. The NSW Rural Fire Service lists cleaning gutters as a basic preparation step each season. We clear gutters and valleys, and can install non-combustible metal gutter guard, which is the type required for new work on bushfire-prone land.

Leaf litter and blocked gutters

The mature trees that make Bangor streets so pleasant also drop a steady load of leaves, twigs and seed pods onto roofs. Once that litter builds up, water backs up under the roof edge and sits in the gutter, which rusts steel gutters from the inside. A clean-out fixes the overflow, and a correctly fitted gutter guard keeps it from coming straight back.

Tile roofs and gutter overflow

On the terracotta and concrete tile roofs found around Bangor, sediment from ageing tiles builds up in the gutter as a heavy sludge that holds water. We flush gutters and downpipes, and when replacing gutters we set the height and fall to suit the tile overhang.

What we look for on Bangor roofs

• Heavy leaf and bark fall from mature gum trees blocks gutters and downpipes
• Bushfire-prone land close to bushland, so gutters need to be kept clear of leaf litter
• Concrete and terracotta tile roofs with valleys that collect leaf litter
