Fallen leaves clogging gutters is a significant maintenance issue and now's a good time to permanently keep your gutters clear for autumn, says NZ Gutter Protection owner Martin Smith.

“Installing gutter protection will keep leaves and hail out of your gutters, as well as birds, rats and possums, and protect water collection tanks from contamination,” says Martin.

“It will also save you the risk of a fall from climbing a ladder to clear your gutters.”

NZ Gutter Protection mesh is made from durable, heavy-duty polyethylene and comes in a range of colours to match any roof.

It can be installed on all roof types, and has a 15-year guarantee on materials and workmanship.

Martin does the fitting himself, providing the continuity of personal service from quote to installation.

He's been installing gutter protection on homes, farm buildings and commercial properties since 2005, throughout Waikato and Bay of Plenty.
