Prevent Gutter Problems Before They Start
That clogged gutter you've been ignoring isn't just an eyesore—it's actively rotting your fascia boards, staining your walls, and damaging your foundation every time it rains. Scheduled maintenance costs a fraction of the repairs.
Our gutter maintenance plans keep your gutters clean, flowing, and healthy year-round. We'll identify small problems before they become expensive emergencies, document gutter condition over time, and give you peace of mind that your home is protected.
Why Proactive Gutter Maintenance Saves You Thousands
Most homeowners wait until something goes wrong before thinking about their gutters. By then, a simple clean has become an expensive repair—or worse, damage to your home that costs thousands to fix. Proactive maintenance is the smarter approach.
⚠️ The Cost of Neglect
- •Fascia board replacement: $1,500 - $5,000+ when water damage sets in
- •Wall repairs & repainting: $2,000+ to fix overflow staining
- •Foundation damage: $5,000 - $50,000+ for structural repairs
- •Complete gutter replacement: $2,000 - $6,000+ when rust takes over
- •Emergency callouts: Premium rates when problems become urgent
✅ The Value of Maintenance
- •Prevent expensive damage before it happens
- •Extend gutter lifespan by 2-3x with regular care
- •Catch small problems early when fixes are cheap
- •Scheduled convenience with priority booking
- •Peace of mind knowing your home is protected
A single annual maintenance plan typically costs less than 5% of the repair bills it prevents. It's one of the best-value home protection investments.
What's Included in Every Maintenance Visit
Comprehensive service that goes beyond basic cleaning
Complete Debris Removal
All leaves, twigs, dirt, sludge, moss, and accumulated grime removed by hand. We don't just push debris into downpipes—we remove it completely and take it with us.
Downpipe Flushing
Every downpipe cleared and water-flushed to ensure free flow. We check connections to stormwater and clear minor drain blockages. Blocked downpipes cause overflow even when gutters are clean.
Thorough Inspection
We check for rust, holes, loose brackets, sagging sections, seal failures, and early warning signs of problems. Catching issues early means cheap fixes instead of expensive repairs.
Minor Repairs Included
Loose brackets tightened, minor sealant repairs, small adjustments—included at no extra charge. We fix what we can on the spot to keep your gutters functioning properly.
Condition Report
Written report with photos documenting gutter condition, any issues found, and recommendations. Over time, this creates a valuable record of your gutter health and any developing concerns.
Before & After Photos
We photograph gutters before and after so you can see exactly what we did— even if you're not home during the visit. Proof of work and condition documentation.

Why Peninsula Properties Need Regular Gutter Maintenance
🌊 Coastal Properties
Frankston, Seaford, Mornington, and other bayside suburbs deal with salt spray that accelerates gutter corrosion. Regular maintenance removes salt deposits before they cause rust damage.
We recommend 2-3 visits per year for coastal properties.
🌳 Tree-Lined Suburbs
Langwarrin, Mount Eliza, and leafy Peninsula suburbs see massive leaf drop in autumn. Eucalyptus bark and gum leaves can block gutters within weeks.
We recommend quarterly maintenance for heavy tree coverage.
🏠 Holiday Homes
Peninsula holiday properties that sit empty for months are at high risk. Problems go unnoticed until owners arrive to find damage. Scheduled maintenance provides peace of mind.
We provide reports and photos so you know your property is protected.
🔥 Fire-Prone Areas
Dry leaves in gutters are a fire hazard during bushfire season. Many insurance policies require maintained gutters. Regular cleaning is essential for safety and compliance.
Pre-summer maintenance is critical for bushfire safety.

Gutter Maintenance FAQs
What's included in a professional gutter maintenance visit?
Our comprehensive maintenance service includes: 1) Complete removal of all leaves, debris, moss, and sludge from gutters, 2) Clearing and flushing all downpipes to ensure free water flow, 3) Inspection for rust, holes, loose brackets, or sagging sections, 4) Minor repairs on the spot (bracket tightening, small sealant fixes), 5) Flow testing to confirm proper drainage, 6) Written condition report with recommendations and photos. We leave your gutters clean and functioning properly.
How often should I have my gutters maintained on the Peninsula?
For Frankston and Mornington Peninsula properties, we recommend: Light tree coverage (minimal trees nearby) - 1-2 times per year. Moderate tree coverage (some gums, natives) - 2-3 times per year. Heavy tree coverage (surrounded by trees) - 4 times per year (quarterly). Coastal properties should also have post-storm checks as salt and debris accumulation accelerates corrosion. Our annual plans are tailored to your specific property needs.
What problems does regular gutter maintenance prevent?
Regular maintenance prevents costly damage: 1) Fascia board rot from water backing up (repairs cost $1,500-5,000+), 2) Wall staining and paint damage from overflow, 3) Foundation damage from water pooling at walls, 4) Premature gutter rust and corrosion, 5) Subfloor flooding during heavy rain, 6) Mosquito breeding in stagnant water, 7) Fire hazard from dry leaf accumulation. The cost of maintenance is a fraction of repair costs.
Do you offer scheduled maintenance plans?
Yes, we offer flexible annual maintenance plans with scheduled visits tailored to your property. Plans include: Priority booking during peak seasons, discounted rates compared to one-off callouts, regular condition reports tracking gutter health over time, and reminders before scheduled visits. Many customers combine gutter maintenance with annual roof inspections for comprehensive protection and better value.
Can you maintain gutters on two-story homes or difficult access properties?
Absolutely. We have extension ladders, elevated work platforms, and all required safety equipment for working at heights. We maintain gutters on two-story homes, split-level properties, steep roofs, and homes with limited ground access across the Peninsula. Our team is fully trained and insured for elevated work.
What if you find damage during a maintenance visit?
If we discover issues like rust holes, loose brackets, sagging sections, or seal failures during maintenance, we document them with photos and explain what we found. Minor issues (loose brackets, small sealant repairs) we can often fix on the spot at no extra charge. For larger repairs, we provide a separate quote with options. We never do significant repairs without your approval first.
How is gutter maintenance different from gutter cleaning?
While gutter cleaning focuses primarily on debris removal, gutter maintenance is a comprehensive service that includes cleaning plus: thorough inspection of all components, minor repairs included, condition reporting and documentation, and proactive identification of developing problems. Think of cleaning as reactive (removing what's there) and maintenance as proactive (preventing future problems).
Do I need to be home for gutter maintenance?
No, you don't need to be home—we just need access to the property and a way to contact you if we find anything significant. We take photos before and after so you can see exactly what we did, plus we send a condition report after each visit. Most gutter maintenance takes 1-3 hours depending on property size and condition.
