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 Neutral Bay 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.
Federation houses, inter-war apartment blocks and 1960s-70s units. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. We regularly attend properties around Military Road, The Oaks Hotel and Neutral Bay Wharf, and throughout the North Sydney Council area.
Many homes in Neutral Bay date from the Federation and inter-war years and were built with ogee or quad gutters on timber fascias. Swapping these for a modern square profile changes the look of the house and, in a heritage conservation area, may not be permitted. We replace like for like, matching the original profile and colour so the new gutter looks as if it has always been there.
Being this close to the water means gutters in Neutral Bay 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 large share of homes in Neutral Bay 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 Neutral Bay 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 Neutral Bay 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 Neutral Bay can keep their original look. If your property is in a heritage conservation area under North Sydney Council, like-for-like replacement is normally the safest approach.
They do. Salt deposits accelerate corrosion, particularly on areas that rain does not wash. For homes in Neutral Bay close to the water, a marine-grade steel such as Colorbond Ultra and regular rinsing of sheltered sections will noticeably extend gutter life.
Yes. We provide written quotes and photo reports for owners corporations and strata managers in Neutral Bay, and can arrange height access for multi-storey blocks.
