Mostly 1960s-70s brick family homes. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. Whether you are near Northern Beaches Hospital, Warringah Road and Forest Way or elsewhere in the 2086 postcode, the process is the same: send the details, get a price, choose a time.

Bushfire-prone land and ember protection

With bushland close by, gutters in Frenchs Forest 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 Frenchs Forest 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.

Heavy rain and storm damage

Short, intense downpours are what expose gutter problems in Frenchs Forest. If water sheets over the front of the gutter in a storm, the cause is usually a blockage, not enough fall, or too few downpipes for the roof area. We work out which it is before recommending a fix, so you are not paying for a replacement you do not need.

What we look for on Frenchs Forest 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
• Among Sydney's higher-rainfall suburbs, so gutter capacity and correct fall matter
