Snow & Hail Gutter Protection – Prevent Damage to Your Gutters & Home
Protect your gutters, valleys and roofline from heavy snow and hail with strong metal gutter guards and New Zealand’s only certified continuous Snow Strap system.
The problem
In snow and hail conditions, gutters can quickly fill and pack solid. When that snow or hail melts or it rains, it can block water flow and send water back into your roof space and internal walls – causing leaks, staining and damage you might not see until much later.
On top of that, the sheer weight of snow and ice sitting in the gutter can:
In alpine and high-country areas, or anywhere that sees regular heavy snowfall or hailstorms, relying on standard gutters alone is a risk.

How our snow and hail protection works
We assess your roofline and snow exposure
A trained installer looks at your roof pitch, gutter type, and how snow typically sits and moves on your roof. This helps us understand the loads your gutters may need to withstand and where snow and hail are likely to build up.
We install metal gutter guards which are certified Snow Straps
Gutter Solutionz strong metal mesh gutter guards stop snow and hail from blocking gutters. Our certified Snow Straps – one long, continuous strap along the gutter – stop snow or hail from filling up the gutter and provide extra strength so the gutter system does not buckle or split under the weight.
The continuous snow strap also helps prevent gutters being ripped off under the dynamic load of snow sliding down the roof.
We use systems independently tested for alpine conditions
Our certified Snow Screens are up to 10 times stronger than traditional snow straps. Independent structural testing shows that having Gutter Solutionz screens in place enables gutters to withstand snow volumes equivalent to alpine conditions.
