Box gutters and rainheads
Box gutters on period and Edwardian homes around Belmont often back up and overflow into the eaves once the lining ages or the rainhead can't keep up with heavier rain. It's a different problem to a standard eaves gutter and needs someone who knows how box gutters are built to find where the water is actually getting stuck.
What the job involves
Box gutters relined and rainheads fitted where water backs up into the eaves.
What's included
- Inspection of the box gutter lining and falls
- Relining of the box gutter where needed
- Rainhead fitted or repaired to handle the flow
- Check of surrounding roof sheets and flashings feeding into the box gutter
- Water test to confirm the overflow into the eaves is fixed

Before you get in touch
Do you work on two-storey homes?
Mostly we do single-storey homes. For two-storey work we'll look at the photos and tell you whether it's a job for us.
How do I know if my gutters need replacing?
Rust holes, joints that drip, or gutters that hold water after the rain stops are the usual signs. Send photos and we'll give you our view.
Is gutter guard worth it?
Under trees, usually yes. It doesn't stop all cleaning, but it cuts it down to a quick once-a-year job.
Can you find a leak that only happens sometimes?
Often, yes. Tell us which direction the weather was coming from when it leaked; that usually points us to the right flashing or sheet.
Which areas do you cover?
Geelong and nearby: Belmont, Highton, Grovedale, Waurn Ponds, Newtown, Geelong West, Hamlyn Heights, Torquay, Ocean Grove and Leopold.
How do you price the work?
Gutter replacements and gutter guard are quoted as one fixed price after we've measured up. Cleaning is priced per house, and we tell you the price when you book. If we find rotten fascia or roof damage, we show you photos and price it before doing anything extra.
How the job is priced
Box gutter and rainhead work is priced after a proper look, since the condition of the lining, the length of the box gutter and whether a rainhead needs replacing all affect the job. Photos from the ground or of any ceiling staining help us scope it before we come out.
