Choosing gutter protection for an Australian heritage, residential, or commercial building
Gutter protection stops two problems at once: birds nesting and leaves blocking. The Avepro range carries two formats sized to the dominant pressure on most Australian gutters.
When to choose Avepro Gutter Brush
Gutter Brush is the right call for leaf-heavy installs. Eucalypt-shed sites, tree-lined residential, and commercial roofs under canopy all carry leaf flow that blocks gutters seasonally. The brush bristles let water through while stopping leaves and debris.
When to choose Avepro Poly Mesh
Poly Mesh is full exclusion against bird nesting. Pigeon-pressured commercial roofs, urban heritage buildings, and high-density residential all carry bird nesting that fills gutters with twigs, droppings, and chick remains. Mesh excludes birds entirely.
Heritage facades and permit-acceptable installs
Heritage councils typically accept gutter mesh because the install is invisible from street level. Heritage facades require permit-acceptable fix methods; Avepro Silicone Bond and Clear Bond Poly carry the no-drill adhesive option for fix points.
WHS at-height install
Most gutter protection installs sit above 2 metres and require AS/NZS 1891 fall-arrest. The works register carries the install method, fall-arrest setup, and any heritage permits.
Protected native species considerations
Where protected natives are nesting, exclusion must be timed to avoid breaching wildlife legislation. Do not install gutter mesh during active nesting season; talk to us before specifying if natives are present.
How to specify the install with us
Use the Spec Your Project form with photos, gutter perimeter, leaf or bird pressure, and any heritage status. We will send back the brush or mesh order, the install spec, and the works register your building owner will accept.
