Combine Gutters with Your Roofing Project

Addressing your gutters and downpipes at the same time as a roofing project is a smart decision many homeowners make. This approach offers financial and logistical advantages.

Cost Efficiency

When we’re already on-site for your roofing project, the scaffolding and edge protection are already erected. This means you avoid the separate setup costs associated with a standalone gutter installation, effectively spreading the cost of this essential safety equipment across two projects.

Seamless Integration

Installing new gutters while your roof is being replaced ensures a perfectly integrated and sealed system. This prevents potential issues that can arise from mismatched installations or old gutters failing shortly after a new roof is completed.

Gutter & Downpipe FAQs

Are you unsure whether your gutters or downpipes need repair or replacement? Here are some common questions we get from homeowners looking to protect their property from water damage.

How do I know if my gutters or downpipes need repairing?

Common signs include overflowing water, rust spots, sagging sections, leaks at joins, or water pooling around your foundation. If you notice any of these, it's time to get them checked.

Can damaged gutters really cause issues?

Yes. Faulty gutters can lead to water pooling near your home’s foundation, internal leaks, and even roof or cladding damage if left unaddressed.

Which type of new gutter and downpipe installation will suit my property?

The best gutter and downpipe system depends on your roof type, rainfall levels, and layout. For example, larger homes may benefit from high-capacity systems, while coastal properties often need rust-resistant materials like aluminium or uPVC. A professional assessment can help match the right profile, material, and size to ensure reliable performance and a clean finish.

Do you offer gutter repairs as part of a roofing project?

Absolutely. Many clients choose to address both during re-roofing to save on costs and ensure a fully integrated drainage system.

Are your installers licensed and insured?

Yes, absolutely. All our installers are fully licensed and insured, providing you with peace of mind and professional service.

How often should I have my gutters inspected?

It's generally recommended to have your gutters inspected at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall, to identify any potential issues early and prevent costly damage.

How long do gutters and downpipes typically last in New Zealand?

Most guttering systems in New Zealand last between 15 and 30 years, depending on the material and environment. uPVC gutters usually last around 15–20 years, while aluminium and steel systems can last 25 years or more with regular care. In coastal areas, salt exposure can shorten the lifespan of standard steel, but marine-grade coatings or aluminium provide excellent durability.

What’s the best gutter material for coastal properties?

For coastal homes, aluminium and uPVC are popular because they won’t rust. However, modern steel options like Colorsteel® Maxx® and Zincalume® with marine-grade coatings are also designed to perform well in salty environments. The right choice often comes down to budget, style preference, and proximity to the sea.

Can blocked gutters really cause roof leaks?

Yes. When gutters or downpipes are blocked, water can overflow and back up under your roofline. This often leads to leaks inside the home, water damage to fascias and soffits, and even foundation problems if pooling occurs around the base of your house. Keeping gutters clear is one of the simplest ways to protect your home.
