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
If rain is spilling over the front of your gutters or staining the fascia at your Rozelle property, it is worth getting it looked at before the next storm. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Victorian workers' cottages, terraces and timber cottages. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. We regularly attend properties around Darling Street, Rozelle Parklands and Victoria Road, and throughout the Inner West Council area.
Shared walls and narrow frontages mean a lot of roofs in Rozelle 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.
Many homes in Rozelle 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.
Housing in Rozelle includes plenty of post-war homes whose gutters and downpipes are now well past their design life. Typical signs are rust stains on the fascia, pinholes you can see daylight through, and brackets pulling away from soft timber. We replace gutters, check the fascia behind them and reconnect downpipes to the stormwater line.
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 Rozelle 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 Rozelle 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 Rozelle can keep their original look. If your property is in a heritage conservation area under Inner West Council, like-for-like replacement is normally the safest approach.
Rozelle is in the Inner West 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.
