What changes the price on your job
The ranges above are the starting point. These five factors move a Mackay quote up or down.
- Mesh type, fine pest mesh cheapest, aluminium ember mesh premium.
- Roof profile, Colorbond screws straight to the sheet; tile needs saddle clips.
- Access, single-storey easy; two-storey and steep tile carry an access loading.
- Leaf load, heavily treed blocks in Glenella need a stiffer mesh.
- Existing gutter condition, rusted gutter needs replacement first.
Red flags, what to watch for in gutter guard quotes
We are called to fix these jobs every wet season. If a quote you have received shows one of these, ask before signing.
- Too-fine a mesh aperture, sheds heavy tropical rain over the gutter instead of through it.
- Cheap black poly guard on west-facing roofs, goes brittle in Mackay UV within a few seasons.
- Mild-steel mesh or fixings near the coast, rusts within a couple of wet seasons.
- Guard fitted flat to a tile roof, water runs back under the tiles, not into the gutter.
- No mention of clearing the gutter first, sealing leaf litter under a new mesh.
