Common questions before choosing gutter protection

Choosing the right gutter guard system is not just about stopping leaves. It is about protecting your roofline, reducing risky ladder work, keeping pests out, and making sure the product suits your home properly.

Yes. Products manufactured, supplied and fitted by Gutter Solutionz are warranted against defective workmanship and/or materials.

Metal mesh gutter guards and snow straps include a 15-year materials warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty. The Clip’n Flush system includes a 5-year UV degradation warranty.

The process starts with a complimentary onsite quote, which can be requested online or by phone. A local distributor will then contact you to arrange a suitable time and provide product information.

Once the quote is accepted, the required materials are ordered. Your gutters or spouting are cleaned, and your chosen Gutter Solutionz products are custom-fitted to your roofline.

Yes. Regular gutter cleaning can be time-consuming and risky, especially when ladders and roof access are involved.

Gutter Solutionz helps reduce the need for regular ladder-based gutter cleaning by keeping leaves, pests and larger debris out of the gutters in the first place.

Gutter Solutionz stands behind its products with warranties and a commitment to putting things right if something is not working as it should.

You can also look at customer testimonials and completed installs to see how the system has performed for other New Zealand homeowners.

In most cases, yes. Gutter Solutionz screens and guards are tailored to suit a wide range of roof and spouting types.

They can be fitted to new and existing roofs, including terracotta and concrete tiles, metal roofing, corrugated iron, slate and glass roofs.

Yes. Gutter Solutionz offers Zincalume, aluminium and copper screen options, with compatible materials and fixings selected to suit the property.

Wider screens can also be made for commercial, industrial or more specialised roofline applications.

The Colour+mesh and Alimesh screens are coated after expansion to provide a protective finish and help match the roof or spouting colour.

The metal mesh gutter guard products also come with a 15-year materials warranty for extra reassurance.

The metal mesh gutter guards can be painted at the same time as your roof, so the system can be colour matched for a clean, integrated finish.

Gutter Solutionz is not aware of rats eating through its metal spouting screens during more than a decade of use in New Zealand.

Metal is much harder for rats to chew through than plastic, which makes it a stronger option when pest protection is a priority.

Licensed distributors install the mesh to specification, so it is fitted correctly for the roof and gutter system.

The louvred mesh profile is designed to draw water down into the spouting, helping reduce the risk of rain running over the top.

No gutter guard product can completely stop fine dust and pollen from entering gutters.

The mesh is designed to keep out most larger debris, reduce snow or hail build-up, and help prevent birds or rodents from getting in. If fine material does build up over time, options such as Clip’n Flush and access hatches can make flushing and maintenance easier.
