Inter-war and post-war cottages, 1960s-70s unit blocks and townhouses. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. Jobs in Mortdale are scheduled alongside other work in St George, so we are usually nearby. That includes streets around Morts Road, Mortdale Station and Mortdale train maintenance depot.

Leaf litter and blocked gutters

The mature trees that make Mortdale 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.

Units and strata buildings

For unit blocks in Mortdale we deal directly with the strata manager or building manager, supply a written scope with photos, and schedule work to minimise disruption to residents. Multi-storey gutter work needs proper height access, which we allow for in the quote rather than adding it afterwards.

Tile roofs and gutter overflow

Tiled roofs are common in Mortdale. Broken tiles, slipped pointing and moss wash down into the gutter and settle at the outlets, and tiles that overhang too far can send water straight past the gutter in heavy rain. We clear the outlets, check the fall and adjust or replace the gutter so it catches the full flow off the roof.

What we look for on Mortdale roofs

• Ageing galvanised gutters on older homes rusting at joins and corners
• Strata apartment blocks needing height-safe access for gutter and downpipe maintenance
• Concrete and terracotta tile roofs with valleys that collect leaf litter
