Gutters & Downpipes in Kensington

Gutter & Downpipe Specialists in Sydney

Crown Roofers replaces, installs, repairs and maintains gutter and downpipe systems for Sydney homes and strata properties. Failing gutters are one of the most expensive problems a Sydney homeowner can ignore — what looks like a small overflow is usually causing fascia rot, wall-cavity damp, and foundation moisture damage that costs ten times more to fix than new gutters would have.

We replace full gutter systems, install new downpipes and stormwater connections, fit Leafguard mesh and ember-protection systems, and repair localised gutter joints, brackets and connections. Most full residential gutter replacements complete in a single working day.

When to Replace Your Gutters

Sydney gutter systems typically last 15–25 years. Replacement is warranted when you see any of the following:

• Visible rust streaks on the outside of the gutter or down the wall
• Sagging sections or gutters pulling away from the fascia
• Water overflowing during normal rain (not just during major storms)
• Leaks at gutter joints, internal mitres, or where downpipes connect
• Water staining or paint bubbling on fascia boards or eaves
• Pooling water or damp problems near the foundations after rain
• Internal water damage or ceiling staining adjacent to exterior walls

Colorbond Gutter Profiles We Install

• Colorbond Quad gutters — the most popular Sydney profile, suits most modern homes
• Colorbond Half-Round gutters — clean traditional profile suited to Federation and heritage homes
• Colorbond Fascia gutters — concealed integrated profile for contemporary homes
• Box gutters — for parapet and concealed roof junctions, lead-lined where required
• All profiles available in any of the 22 Colorbond colours to match your existing roof

Downpipes, Stormwater and Drainage

A new gutter system is only as good as the downpipes that drain it. We install new round and square Colorbond downpipes connected directly into your existing stormwater pits, retention tanks or street kerb drainage. Where existing downpipe sizing is undersized for the roof catchment, we recommend an upgrade to prevent overflow during heavy rain. For homes with rainwater tanks, we fit first-flush diverters and leaf-screens at the downpipe.

Leafguard and Ember Protection

Sydney's leaf-heavy suburbs — particularly Lane Cove, Pennant Hills, Cherrybrook, Castle Hill and bushfire-prone areas of the Sutherland Shire — benefit hugely from gutter mesh installation. Leafguard mesh sits over the gutter, lets water through but excludes leaves, twigs, bark and debris. The result: dramatically reduced gutter cleaning, no more bird and possum nesting, and ember protection during bushfire events. We install genuine Leafguard and equivalent stainless mesh systems.

Gutter Replacement Costs in Sydney

A typical single-storey Sydney home gutter replacement (including new Colorbond quad gutters, brackets, downpipes and connection to existing stormwater) runs $1,800–$3,500. A two-storey home with longer linear metres and additional downpipes typically costs $3,000–$5,000. Leafguard adds $30–$60 per linear metre. Individual gutter repair work starts at $180. Every quote is fixed-price and itemised, with the colour and profile confirmed in writing before installation.
