Who Benefits Most from Guards
Guards pay off best on homes close to trees that drop leaves, needles or seeds onto the roof. High gutters that need a tower or cherry picker to reach are another good candidate. If birds nest in your gutters each spring, mesh can stop that too. Where there are few trees nearby, guards may not be worth the outlay.
Guards are fitted after leaves and silt have been removed. Mesh, brush and foam perform differently around fine roof grit, so ask how the chosen product will be checked and cleaned later.
How Gutter Guards Are Fitted
- Every gutter is cleared and each downpipe tested.
- Any sags or leaking joints are repaired first.
- The chosen guard is fitted along the gutters, including corners and outlets.
- Water is run over the guards to check it drains.

Send one enquiry with your postcode, the type of property and the trees near your roof. We can pass it to up to four gutter guard installers covering Ealing.
How long do gutter guards last?
Metal mesh guards can last many years, while foam inserts may need replacing after a few seasons. Brush guards last well if they are lifted out and cleaned now and then.
Will I still need my gutters cleaned?
Less often, but occasionally. Fine debris can get through or settle on top, so a periodic check and brush-off is still needed.
Can gutter guards be fitted in winter?
Yes, as long as the weather is dry enough to work safely. Autumn and winter are popular because they avoid the spring nesting season.
