Altona VIC · about 14 km from our base
Close to the bay, Altona's gutters take the salt air first. When they're rusting through, sagging or leaking at the joins, we replace them with new gutters, fascia and downpipes, set to drain properly and colour-matched to the roof.
Roofs in Altona
Altona is a bayside suburb with a lot of post-war housing: brick veneer and weatherboard homes from the 1950s and 60s, many on their original or second set of gutters, plus newer units and townhouses where blocks have been redeveloped.
Salt air is hard on gutters. They hold moisture, leaves and salt in the bottom, out of reach of the rain that rinses the roof sheets, so they often rust out well before the roof does. In Altona that usually shows as rust along the bottom and at the joins, and stains down the fascia where water has been getting behind.
Altona is also open to wind off the bay. Loose brackets and sagging runs let water sit in the low points, so when we replace gutters we set them to fall properly to each outlet and fix them firmly to sound fascia.
Gutters, fascia & downpipes · Altona
What Altona roofs tend to need, and how we deal with it.
How the job runs
We check the gutters, the fascia behind them and how the roof drains into them.
Old gutters come off, and any rotten or rusted fascia is repaired or replaced.
Gutters fixed to fall to each outlet, with downpipes to match.
We run water through to check it flows to the outlets, then clear the site.

“We were recommended by a friend to use Mehari to repair our metal roof leak & damage to plaster ceiling. We are so glad we did. He was professional & prompt in all aspects of the job, keeping us informed along the way. From quote to completion was less than 2 weeks. Highly recommended. Thank you Mehari.”

Common questions
Anything not covered here, call 0403 652 357 and ask.
Salt settles in the gutter along with leaves and moisture, and rain doesn't rinse a gutter the way it rinses a roof. That keeps the metal wet and salty, so gutters near the coast usually corrode faster than the roof above them. Keeping them clear helps.
Yes. Gutters, fascia and downpipes can be replaced on their own. We make sure the roof sheets still finish properly into the new gutter, and match the colour as closely as we can.
Only if it's damaged. If water has rotted a timber fascia or rusted a metal one, it's replaced first so the new gutters have something solid to fix to. If it's sound, it stays.
