Fantastic system and excellent customer service. I must admit, I didn’t pay close attention to my initial order and had actually ordered the wrong system from my roof. Luckily Brenden prior to dispatching the order realised what I’d ordered was not common. He rang me up straight away and we were able to diagnose my mistake and get it corrected. I even managed to pay less as a result. I have no hesitation in recommending these guys for ensuring you get the right system for your roof, and quickly. It was literally overnight from Melbourne to Brisbane.

This is the first time I have installed this type of gutter guard and I must say I am very impressed. The quality of the product is top notch and very easy to install. Very easy ordering process and I received my 3 kits to Brisbane in 3 days. I would definitely purchase again.

I have recently purchased my second order from Aussie DIY Solutions. The experience was first class. I had made an error in my first order early this year and the consultant was extremely helpful in helping me sort this. A minimum of fuss and a cash adjustment and all was good. The second order arrived very quickly. Great service.

Product was delivered pretty quickly and everything was well packed, the mesh is good quality and pretty easy to work with just gets a bit fiddly lifting the tiles and tucking the mesh under, i was doing the job myself but with 2 people it would be easier After i did the whole back gutter i got the hang of it. The strips that hold the mesh firm onto the gutter are a great colour match like the mesh and easy to work with, i fixed to the gutter first then tucked mesh under the second row of tiles then did silicone around the ridge capping last. All up im very happy with the quality of the total package, the mesh, strips, and screws, also the wider 1 metre valley mesh is a must to get the span you need to cover the vally properly and lastly its not that hard for the people out there that like to do things themselves. I recommend this product and glad i went with Aussie DIY

I have just used this firm for the first time and the experience has been nothing but positive, The price and quality of the product were great and Jeremy was very helpful both in helping me formulate the order and also in some installation advice when I encountered difficulties due to the location of a solar array on my tile roof. The order was also despatched quickly and arrived faster than the freight company’s predicted ETA. I look forward to using Aussie DIY again for a couple of other projects later this year.

Great services. I contacted them by phone, and Jeremy was so helpful.Delivery was done in no time and perfectly package.In terms of product, I ordered gutter protection for all my house and sheds (130ml). Very easy to install, and looks awesome. I think the worse part is to clean the gutters before installing but very rewarding when thinking that will be no longer necessary to go into the gutters again!

I have a 4 bay shed and the gutters were getting continuously filled with leaves and sticks from the large gum tree in the neighbours yard. Cleaning the gutters was a lot of work as the downpipes would get clogged as well. I fitted this product back in 2020. Since then the gutters are staying clean. The rubbish now blows or flow over onto the ground. So it is much easier to just rake this up from time to time. Very happy with the the result and installation is straight forward.

Great service and spoke to a real person. I think their how to videos can be better quality and their written instructions should match the video. All that said the gutter guard was easy to install and the quality appears to be good, time will tell.

We have a low angle slope on our roof and a high lip on our gutter so I wasn’t sure if the gutter guard would work as it might create a ‘valley’ where the roof meets the mesh. I rang and spoke to Justin (?) and he gave some great advice and suggested we get a custom width to help minimise the issue. There was no extra cost for this and the product arrived fast and was super easy to install. Really happy with the quality and so relieved I don’t have to get on the roof every few weeks to clean 32m of gutters!

Hi Jack,I have just completed the installation of the gutter kits to my house. What a job!The guys that fit this stuff for a living here in Qld certainly earn their money. 😀Whilst simple enough to install, I found the valleys the most back breaking and hardest to do. Admittedly the 33 degree days didn’t help my cause. But now after four long days the 100m of gutter protection is up, I’m pleased to say it looks and works great.I have to mention that the delivery of the product was fantastic, given that it was received two days before Christmas when ordered the week prior.Kind regardsRoy

Gutter Guards
What are the safety considerations for the gutter guard installation process?
Working at heights and slippery, uneven surfaces is HAZARDOUS. Every effort should be made to reduce the risk of injury and property damage (Contact your local Work Cover Authority or local council for site-specific safety regulations).
Some safety considerations include:
- Use a safety harness anchored correctly (have a contingency with an extra person to assist with any potential falls)
- Wear protective clothing such as non-slip shoes, sun protection (i.e. hats, gloves, sunscreen), and gloves
- Handle the product with care (wear gloves); it does have sharp edges
- Do not work in the rain or on wet surfaces
- Use a quality ladder and scaffolds on stable, even ground
- Ensure no overhead power lines in your vicinity
- Ensure you use well-maintained tools
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Is there maintenance after you install gutter guards?
In most cases, the combination of the roof shape and gutter guard slope will encourage leaves and debris to fall to the ground in wind and rain. When trees with heavy or finer debris overhang the gutter guard, homeowners may need to gently sweep or blow the debris off the roof. If your gutters have a correct fall, dirt and small particles will flush out with water flow; if this is not the case, you may need to wash the gutters.
Please note gutter mesh is slippery on any roof type, do not walk on the mesh to reduce the chance of damage and a fall.
Does installation differ for each gutter guard solution?
Various gutter guard solutions include gutter protection, bird proofing, bushfire protection and rainwater harvesting system. The installation steps are the same for each gutter guard solution. The installation differs between the tiled roof and metal roof types.
Does gutter guard installation differ for each roof type?
The metal roof gutter guard systems, Trimdek®, Klip-Lok®, and corrugated roofs, have identical installation steps, as the DIY gutter protection kits contain similar parts and materials. The critical difference between the kits is the saddles are designed to fit the roof shape.
Kits for tiled roofs do not have saddles; instead, the gutter guard mesh is tucked under the second row of tiles.
What are your DIY gutter guard systems?
Our DIY gutter guard kits provide a complete gutter protection system – standard and box gutter guard installation – and roof valleys for residential and commercial properties. Get gutter guard protection for every gutter guard solution, including gutter protection from clogged gutters and blocked gutters, bird proofing, bushfire protection and rainwater harvesting filter.
