Gutterguard

Gutterguard Types

Gutter Guard comes in two types: Gutter Guard and Hedgehog (bristles). Gutter Guard is the preferred choice as it maintains gutter performance and remains hidden. In contrast, Hedgehog bristles can expand in sunlight, becoming visible, clogged, and unsightly. We've replaced many Hedgehog systems with Gutter Guard for this reason. Balloon guards, fitted at the outlet, are also effective at preventing blockages in drains or soakaways.

Gutterguard Benefits

A disadvantage of fitting any form Gutter Guard at all is it will need to be removed and refitted periodically for proper cleaning of the Guttering.
While there is no totally ‘maintenance free’ solution for keeping on top of debris falling into the guttering. In areas of the roof with overhanging trees, or significant moss we always advise fitting Gutter Guards as the build up of leaves can quickly lead to blockages.

Gutterguard Sizes

Gutter Guard comes in 500mm sections that clip together to form the entire length required and can be trimmed to size.
This product is 112mm in overall width. Hedgehog systems come in a 4m coil and can be trimmed to size. This system requires clips at 300m centres to avoid it warping in the sun.

Benefits

UPVC is renowned for its durability and low maintenance requirements, making it an ideal material for hard-to-reach areas such as soffits and fascias. It is easy to clean and, unlike metal or wood, does not rust, rot, peel, or warp over time.
Fitting a Gutter Guard particularly in areas where there are over hanging tress and quantities of moss on your roof can provide an excellent low cost solution to maintaining your Guttering.
The product is easy to install and economic to fit especially during the installation of your new Guttering.
Having to go up to your roof and clear the guttering can often require specialist access equipment and there are costs involved to pay people to come out to your property to do this.
Fitting Gutter Guard keeps your Guttering flowing by stopping leaves or clumps of moss entering the rain water system entirely in the first place therefore reducing the need to clear the Gutter as often. This reduces your overall maintenance cost considerably.
Our Gutter Guard has been made from recycled materials for sustainability. Being plastic, it is guaranteed never to perish, warp, fade or crack, it provides an excellent long lasting solution for keeping your Guttering flowing freely.
