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 Matraville 2036. Tell us what is happening and we will come back with a clear price and the earliest available time.
Mostly post-war brick and fibro cottages with newer duplexes and townhouses. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. Jobs in Matraville are scheduled alongside other work in the Eastern Suburbs, so we are usually nearby. That includes streets around Bunnerong Road and Port Botany.
Being this close to the water means gutters in Matraville have a shorter life than the same product further inland. Joints and brackets go first. When we repair or replace gutters here we use compatible fasteners and sealants rated for marine exposure, and we can quote Colorbond Ultra where the manufacturer recommends it for properties close to breaking surf.
A lot of homes in Matraville 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.
Newer estates in Matraville typically have Colorbond gutters clipped to a metal fascia. Common call-outs here are overflow at internal corners during heavy rain, popped joints and downpipes blocked with builder’s debris. We can add downpipes or overflow provisions where the original design struggles in a storm.
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.

They do. Salt deposits accelerate corrosion, particularly on areas that rain does not wash. For homes in Matraville close to the water, a marine-grade steel such as Colorbond Ultra and regular rinsing of sheltered sections will noticeably extend gutter life.
Matraville is in the Randwick City 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.
