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
Gutter problems rarely fix themselves, and in Five Dock one heavy downpour is usually what turns a small leak into water inside the eaves. Request a quote and a local roof plumber will assess the job and price it up front.
Inter-war and post-war bungalows, many rebuilt as duplexes and modern homes, with shop-top apartments on Great North Road. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. We regularly attend properties around Great North Road, Five Dock Park and Timbrell Park, and throughout the City of Canada Bay area.
Terraces and semis in Five Dock commonly drain through box gutters hidden behind a parapet or running between two roofs. When a box gutter leaks, the water goes straight into the ceiling rather than over the edge. We reline or rebuild box gutters with the correct fall, sumps and overflows so they cope with a Sydney downpour.
Leaf build-up is the most common reason gutters overflow in Five Dock. Wet debris holds moisture against the metal for weeks, so blocked gutters fail years earlier than clear ones, and blocked downpipes push water back toward the eaves. We clear gutters and downpipes, check the fall, and can fit aluminium or steel mesh gutter guard matched to your roof profile.
A large share of homes in Five Dock are apartments and townhouses, where gutters and downpipes are usually common property. We quote for strata managers and owners corporations, provide photos with every report, and can work at height on two and three storey blocks with the right access equipment.
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 Five Dock 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 Five Dock 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 Five Dock can keep their original look. If your property is in a heritage conservation area under City of Canada Bay, like-for-like replacement is normally the safest approach.
For properties under or near large trees it usually is. A properly fitted metal mesh keeps leaves out of the gutter and downpipes, which cuts cleaning and reduces rust. It still needs an occasional brush-off, and on bushfire-prone land the mesh must be non-combustible.
Yes. We provide written quotes and photo reports for owners corporations and strata managers in Five Dock, and can arrange height access for multi-storey blocks.
