Mostly apartment complexes built since the 1990s and converted wool stores, with surviving Victorian terraces and workers' cottages. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. We regularly attend properties around The Star, Sydney Fish Market and Pyrmont Bridge, and throughout the City of Sydney area.

Terraces, semis and box gutters

Shared walls and narrow frontages mean a lot of roofs in Pyrmont 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.

Period homes and matching profiles

Many homes in Pyrmont 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.

Salt air and gutter corrosion

Being this close to the water means gutters in Pyrmont 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.

What we look for on Pyrmont roofs

• Salt air off the harbour and bays shortens the life of older galvanised gutters
• Strata apartment blocks needing height-safe access for gutter and downpipe maintenance
• Flat and low-pitch apartment roofs relying on box gutters, sumps and overflows
