  • What is the Process?

    Request a complimentary onsite Quote - online or by phone. Your local Distributor will contact you to book the onsite Quote and will email an informative brochure about our gutter protection products. If you accept the Quote, the materials are ordered and on a mutually agreeable date, the gutters/spouting are thoroughly cleaned, then the Gutter Solutionz product/s are custom-fitted. 

  • My partner cleans the roof gutters but I don’t like him climbing ladders, will this help?

    Yes. Cleaning spouting is very time consuming and is one of the most dangerous chores around the house*. It's also a job without satisfaction, because as quickly as leaves are removed, others are taking their place - in only a couple of months the spouting will need to be cleaned out again. Don’t become a statistic - leave it to the experts. If you don’t feel confident about using a ladder, don’t - call Gutter Solutionz - we will solve the problem for you. (*ACC reports that there are approx. 4,000 serious injuries in New Zealand each year caused by falls from ladders at home.)

  • How do I know it will work?

    At Gutter Solutionz, we are proud of our products and stand behind them 100%. We provide Warranties to give you peace of mind that our products work and last. If something is not right, we will fix it. Read our Testimonials page to see how highly customers rate Gutter Solutionz and our products.

  • Will it fit my roof?

    Gutter Solutionz Spouting Screen and gutter guards are tailored to fit all types of roofs and spouting, new or existing including terracotta and concrete tiles, metal tiles, corrugated iron, other metal deck roofing, slate and glass roofs. See our Gallery page for examples.

  • Will the Gutter Solutionz screen be compatible with the roofing/spouting?

    Gutter Solutionz has a full range of screens, including Zincalume, Aluminium and Copper. We only use compatible materials and fixings: the correct material will be used on your property. Wider screens can also be manufactured so that commercial, industrial and special fittings can be undertaken.

  • I've been told the metal mesh will rust?

    The Gutter Solutionz range of Colour+mesh and Alimesh screens are fully coated after the expansion process, to ensure a complete protective coating that will match the colour of your roof/ spouting. Your roof is a good guide – Gutter Solutionz uses similar materials and installation methods. This process coupled with the comprehensive 15 year Warranty, gives you peace of mind that their products will stand up to even the harshest of climates.

  • What if I paint my roof?

    No problem. Unlike Plastic/Polyurethane gutter products, Gutter Solutionz metal mesh gutter guards can simply be painted at the same time as your roof - everything will be colour matched.

  • Can rats eat through Gutter Solutionz metal mesh?

    We are not aware of any instances of rats eating through Gutter Solutionz metal spouting screens, in over a decade of use throughout New Zealand. Rats can eat through a variety of products if they set their minds to it, including plastic. Metal is much more difficult. 

  • Will rain run over the top of the metal mesh?

    Gutter Solutionz Distributors are specifically licensed to install Gutter Solutionz metal mesh gutter guards. When installed to specification, the louvered shape in the metal mesh drags the water down into the spouting, preventing runoff.

  • Will the mesh stop dust & pollen building up in the gutters?

    There is currently no gutter guard product on the market that will stop dust and pollen getting into the gutters/spouting. What Gutter Solutionz mesh will do, is keep out most debris, stop snow or hail building up and prevent birds nesting or rodents getting in and causing damage to your property. 


    If you believe this may be a problem in your area, Gutter Solutionz new Clip’n Flush system will take care of this for you by providing a plumbed flush system that sprays directional jets of water onto the inside of the spouting, flushing it clear. All done without needing to climb a ladder! 


    In addition, access hatches will be installed in the fitted Gutter Solutionz metal mesh gutter guards, so that at any time you can easily flush the spouting with a hose if needed. Your local Distributor also offers a flushing service if you would like them to help.
