Gutter Guard Installers
Gutter Guard installers servicing Wollongong, Shoalhaven, Illawarra, Shellharbour, and the Sutherland Shire. Metal gutter mesh provides protection from embers that settle on the roof during a fire and then smoulder or burn.
Expert Knowledge
Studies of Australian homes destroyed by fire reveal that an estimated 85% were caused by ember attacks, rather than direct flames (RFS). Ember attacks can happen more than 100 metres in front of a bushfire front.
Plan ahead to protect your home and family. Curran’s plumbers can retrofit a guttering system to a new or existing building, bringing your home up to new minimum standards of compliance.
Curran supplies and installs All-Flow Aluminium Gutter Mesh
Installation and Protection With a Quality Australian Made Product
Curran’s plumbers can provide and install a new metal mesh guttering system for your home, or for garages, sheds and other outbuildings.
Â
We use the locally made All-Flow Aluminium Gutter Mesh that comes with a 15-year performance guarantee and a CSIRO tested fire rating.
Â
The simple and effective All-Flow ski-slope system means that the roof pitch line extends to the gutter’s outer edge. The All-Flow aluminium mesh repels leaves and other debris, allowing regular wind action to blow it to the ground.
Â
We recommend a 3.5mm mesh for optimum practicality, as it screens out small debris but admits heavy rainfall. We can also install a 2mm aperture aluminium woven mesh where ember proofing is a specific bushfire defence requirement.
We Use Gutter Mesh That Won’t Rust or Burn
The All-Flow mesh uses components made from BlueScope Colorbond steel. It is durable and will not rust or burn.
Â
Metal mesh gutterings offer vital defence against ember attacks during a fire as they:
Â
- prevent the build-up of fuel in gutters, such as dry leaves, bark and twigs
- repel embers that might otherwise lodge in gutters or roof nooks and crannies, without buckling in the heat
- allow gutters to be more easily filled with water on fire-prone days by keeping them debris-free

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I actually need gutter guards, or would regular cleaning be enough?
Gutter guards are ideal if your property is surrounded by trees or you’re dealing with frequent blockages. While regular cleaning can manage debris short term, it requires ongoing maintenance and cost. Gutter guards reduce how often your gutters need cleaning and help prevent issues like water overflow, rust, and damage to your home over time.
Will gutter guards work with my roof type?
Yes, gutter guards can be installed on most common roof types, including tile and metal roofs. The installation method is adjusted based on your roof profile to ensure a secure fit and proper water flow. A professional assessment will confirm the best solution for your specific roof.
Do gutter guards completely eliminate the need for gutter cleaning?
No, but they significantly reduce how often cleaning is required. Gutter guards stop most leaves and large debris from entering your gutters, though small particles like dust or fine debris can still build up slowly over time. Occasional maintenance is still recommended to keep everything performing properly.
What happens to small debris like dirt or pine needles?
Fine debris can still pass through or settle on top of the mesh, depending on the type of gutter guard installed. High-quality mesh systems are designed to minimise this, but some natural build-up is normal. The key benefit is preventing major blockages that cause overflow and damage.
How much does gutter guard installation cost?
The cost varies depending on factors like the size of your home, roof accessibility, gutter condition, and the type of guard used. While it’s an upfront investment, many homeowners find it pays off by reducing ongoing cleaning costs and helping prevent expensive repairs caused by blocked gutters.
How long do gutter guards last?
High-quality gutter guards are built to last for many years, often 10–20 years or more depending on the material and conditions. Choosing a durable system and professional installation ensures better performance and longevity, especially in harsh Australian weather.
