What’s involved
How a Briks gutter specialist job actually runs.
- 01
Inspection first — we photograph from above (drone or ladder) so you can see what the quote covers. Sagging gutters are usually a bracket spacing or fascia rot problem, not the gutter itself.
- 02
Replacement is sized to roof catchment area. Half-round looks heritage-correct on older homes; Quad and OG suit most post-1970 builds. Colour-matched to roof or fascia.
- 03
Leaf guard is only worth it for some homes. We will tell you straight — gum-tree-heavy yards yes, no overhanging trees probably no. We do not push it onto every job.
Standards + compliance
The non-negotiables.
The licenses, standards, and paperwork every Briks-coordinated gutters job clears before, during, and after the work.
Working-at-heights ticket
Gutter work above 2m is working-at-heights work. Briks gutter techs are ticketed, harnessed, and use ladder-stabilisers on every job. We refuse jobs we cannot safely access.
Roof plumber qualification
Gutter, fascia, and downpipe work is roof plumbing — covered by SA roof plumber qualifications. Stormwater connection to mains is licensed plumbing.
$10M+ public liability
Minimum $10M public liability cover for damage to roof, eaves, and surrounding property. Certificate of currency on file.

FAQ
Gutters questions, answered.
In Adelaide, residential gutters should be cleaned at least once a year — twice yearly if the property has overhanging gum trees, plane trees, or ornamental pears. Pre-storm-season (April-May) and post-leaf-fall (June) are the highest-value clean windows.
