St George

Post-war brick bungalows from the 1940s-50s, alongside an industrial area. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. Jobs in Kingsgrove are scheduled alongside other work in St George, so we are usually nearby. That includes streets around Kingsgrove Road, Kingsgrove Station and Kingsgrove industrial area.

Terraces, semis and box gutters

Shared walls and narrow frontages mean a lot of roofs in Kingsgrove rely on box gutters and rainwater heads rather than a simple eaves gutter. These need the right fall and an overflow path, otherwise heavy rain ends up inside. We inspect, repair and replace box gutters and can work with your neighbour or strata manager where the gutter is shared.

Leaf litter and blocked gutters

The mature trees that make Kingsgrove 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 Kingsgrove, 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 Kingsgrove roofs

• Ageing galvanised gutters on older homes rusting at joins and corners
• Concrete and terracotta tile roofs with valleys that collect leaf litter
• Duplex and knock-down rebuild homes with box gutters and concealed downpipes that block easily
