I love a local Morley re-gutter 🥰 Original OG 100x50mm downpipes replaced with Terrain slotted gutters

This patio in Bicton had its roof sheets overhanging only 10 mm into the gutter. The water ran behind the gutter and rotted out the wooden batten on the bottom row. We stripped the gutter and downpipes, cut back the rafters, added correct fall and reinstalled the gutter so there would be adequate overhang from the roof sheets in the gutter. We also supplied and installed 75mm round classic cream downpipes around the house.

This leak happen on both end corners of a commercial building. Upon inspection I always look under where the stain has occurred so I know where to look once upon the roof. Because the stain was not directly in the corner, I suspected the leak was happening at the ends of the sheets. To investigate the leak, roof screws and fixings needed to be taken out to source the points entry. I checked the apron flashing and it’s joins to see if it was undersealed. It wasn’t at the apron join and at the top, it was, but the line of silicone was too far up from the join. Water stains were evident as the water collects dirt over time and shows where the water capillary occurred. I noticed that the laps of the sheets were overlap of the roof sheets from the bottom were to my left, meaning that it was the this was the last sheet installed. After releasing the roof screws I lifted to see that the installers had not cut down the sheet. They double lapped the sheet and it was sucking up water at the ends of the sheet. I thought I would share this as I’ve come across this type of leak quote a lot. I put it down to roofing contractors that try to get the job done as fast as possible. By doing so, they have cut corners and the long term effects is evident as corrosion of the sheet has already occurred. Simply cutting the sheet at the end or cutting cutting it to the desired length would of stopped this. -repair

Even new homes are susceptible to roof leaks. Here are just some of the reasons why a perfectly sound-looking roof may not be that watertight and what you need to do about it.

Downpipe upgrades to 100x75mm. Had to cut aggregate concrete as the stormwater outlet was cemented under. Detected eaves leak, common problem I come across is that the Foxtel installer seem to love to cut the back of the gutter and not seal it.

Recently completed re-gutter and downpipe replacement and upgrades. Installed with classic cream settlers gutter and 95x45mm downpipes, some areas like the front could not cope with capacity issues staining the eaves. Instead of putting an extra downpipe, in which some other companies suggested, I always go for a larger downpipe to go into the stormwater outlet, as it defeats the purpose of having the stormwater outlets there in the first place. Hopefully the clients are happy with the installation as it was a pleasure for me to do 😊

This re-gutter in Morley was a pleasure to do for these clients. We installed slotted classic cream gutters and downpipes and replaced valleys. We upgraded the downpipe inside the patio to cope with capacity issues and packed up the valley boards under the valleys so they don’t kink in the future if future trades walk along it. This client also had asked if there was anyway to have no downpipes along the side of his house. We suggested that if a couple of bricks could be removed, the gutter could run through to the front and we could install a rainhead and a 100x75mm downpipe. The also replaced the sunken lead flashing under the weather boards with wakaflex and a cover flashing for a nice finish. 🏡

Sorry for neglecting this page recently as I’ve been overwhelmed with work I haven’t had a chance to upload some photos.

This client is Tuart hill needed some TLC maintenance for the roof. There was a chimney which has leaks coming from the cracked cement on the top and the dragon cowls bearings on top of the chimney had ceased. I managed to source another chimney cowl and replaced the secret gutter trays with wakaflex and a cut in flashing. I also installed the barge board and missing fascia. I used wakaflex to go under the ridge tiles then re-pointed with star point Flexicoat.

This client had some water issues pooling in front of his garage as water was flowing from the top of the driveway and pooling in the corner. The downpipe was not connected to the stormwater outlet as well. We installed a new grate with two returns that joined onto the exisiting grate. The exisiting was connected to a soakwell and after a little bit of jackhammering managed to get it to the height of the brick paving.
