Gutter Guard Installation

Our patented gutter guard system provides permanent protection against leaf blockages and bird nesting. The UV-stabilised HDPE design allows natural water flow while blocking 99% of leaves and 100% of birds. Professional installation ensures seamless integration with existing gutter systems across all roof types without drilling or screwing. Customers benefit from reduced maintenance costs and long-term roof integrity preservation.

Bird Proofing

Custom-designed bird proofing solutions protect roofs and gutters from nesting birds and associated damage. The system creates physical barriers that prevent access while maintaining ventilation standards. Professional installers use materials compatible with all roof types, eliminating fire hazards and health risks from bird parasites. This service is particularly effective for properties near water sources or green spaces.

Gutter Cleaning

Professional vacuum gutter cleaning services use advanced equipment to remove debris without roof access. Our Melbourne-based team handles residential and commercial properties with safety harness systems or ground-based skyvac technology for multi-story buildings. The service includes before-and-after documentation and maintenance recommendations to ensure optimal water flow and prevent blockages.

DIY Gutter Guard

For property owners preferring self-installation, we offer complete gutter guard kits with detailed instructions. The system's design allows easy fitting to existing gutters without special tools. Customers receive technical support and access to installation guides, with the flexibility to remove and re-install for periodic maintenance while maintaining 99% leaf-proof effectiveness.

Professional Installation

Nationwide network of certified installers provides expert fitting services for gutter guards and bird proofing systems. Technicians complete installations without roof tile removal, using non-invasive methods that preserve roof warranties. The service includes system checks, debris removal, and post-installation verification to ensure 100% bird-proof and 99% leaf-proof performance across all property types.

Have used Great Barrier Leaf twice now over the last couple of years and Ehret's service and professionalism has been excellent. He has gone above and beyond both times and done an excellent job at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs a professional gutter cleaning service.

They had installed my roof gutter guard a year ago. This year they came in and cleaned it up. I have 3 gum trees on my property and it was big job. It was done for a good price and high quality of work. Shall continue to use them.

I had The Great Barrier Leaf product professionally installed on my house and a complete flushing of my gutters and down pipes. I was very impressed with the cost, product appearance and quality. It is very easy to remove and replace should I need to. The installation to my whole house was fast. The installer was lovely, answered all my questions and was very helpful. I have read a number of reviews on this product and I definitely agree its the best on the market.

We have had long-standing problems with starlings nesting in our house eaves. We contacted Ehret at GBL. He listened to our problem. He was able to obtain our house dimensions directly from Google Earth! He contacted us the next day with a competitive price and arranged a date and time in the following week to do the job. He arrived on time and kindly cleaned our gutters prior to installing the Gutter Guard. That was a week ago. The outcome has been brilliant - no birds in the eaves !! Thank you Ehret.
