BenefitsThe Benefits of Clean and Maintenance Free Gutters
Before The Leaf Man installs our premium steel Gutter Guard your installer will thoroughly inspect and clean your gutters and downpipes.
After 14 years of being specialists in the industry, we have found that cleaning gutters has often been left for too long and in turn can cost thousands of dollars to repair.
Why are clean gutters important?
Clogged and dirty gutters lead to rust and deterioration and can create major problems for your roof and home.
Clean gutters that are protected with The Leaf Man Gutter Guard will prevent:
- Overflowing gutters that leak water onto paths
- Rotting roof timbers which can lead to leaks through your ceiling
- Dirty tank water
- Burning embers in the case of Bush fire igniting with collected gutter debris
These three gutters do not have gutter guard and clogged after just one severe storm.
Gutters clogged with leaves & debris stay wet for exceptionally long periods. This moisture severely degrades the protective finish of the guttering and begins the corrosion of your gutters.
Not visible from the outside of your home - what is also happening is that the overflow of water that cannot flow through the clogged guttering doesn’t just fall onto the ground. It flows back into your roof cavity. Too often the damage of rotting timber isn’t noted until it’s too late.
Be Bush Fire Ready
Leaf-clogged gutters are fire fuel. The Leaf Man Gutter Guard also has the highest fire rating protection and complies with Australian Standards AS1530Pt3.
The Leaf Man Gutter Guard has been granted from the CSIRO a zero flammability certificate – this means that there is 0 chances that it will become flammable in a fire – unlike other gutter guard products made from aluminum or plastic. The Leaf Man Gutter Guard will not ignite or melt under intense heat and is anti-corrosive. Hot embers landing on The Leaf Man Gutter Guard will simply burn out.

Make every drop count
The Leaf Man Gutter Guard’s louvered expanded apertures were selected after much trial & testing to ensure that end. Apertures that are any smaller restrict water. Meshes that are pulled tight result in rainwater “bouncing” off with little water collection.
Flat meshes allow too much debris in.
We tried, tested and proved it over 10 years ago and are proud to say it is still the preferred choice for maximum water collection for today!
What is a clean gutter?
A clean gutter means a gutter free from:
- Leaves and other organic matter
- Birds and bird nests
- Spiders, vermin and other unwanted pests
- Broken pieces of roof tile and flying debris from heavy winds and storms
- Small animals and pets accidentally trapped
How does the Leaf Man Gutter Guard protect my gutters?
Our The Leaf Man Installers will clean your gutters thoroughly before installation. The Leaf Man Gutter Guard is then installed securely onto your gutters - working to keep out debris and animals, whilst allowing a free flow of water.
Free flowing water then in turn allows your gutters and downpipes to work effectively and helps to prevent and slow down the rusting process of gutters and downpipes.
The Leaf Man Gutter Guard is manufactured from BlueScope Colorbond® & Zinculume® Steel. Our Gutter Guard has been installed on thousands of homes across Australia over the last decade. Over these years, the product has been engineered and refined and, in doing so, our humble gutter guard has become a necessity in the bid for cleaner tank water, protection for your property in fire hazard areas and the most successful protection against leaves pests and vermin.
