Whatever the season, it is important that your gutters and valleys are clean and unblocked. Insurance repairers recommend the installation of valley and gutter guard to prevent damage to ceilings due to overflowing gutters. Leafshield gives gutters lasting protection and prevents damage to your home. Our system allows leaves to slide off the roof instead of blocking up your valleys and gutters. Leafshield can keep everything from a possum to the tiniest jacaranda leaf out of your gutters.

Is it time to replace your old leaking roof with a Bluescope Colorbond Roof?
Your roof is your primary defense and shelter against storm damage. Roofing problems can affect the entire building. Take special care to ensure that your roof is in top condition. Old roofing deteriorates over time due to climate conditions and material deterioration. Minor cracks and damage to roof seals need to be fixed for storm season. Check old roofs thoroughly, particularly tile condition and steel roofing joins for any sign of damage. Old cracked tiles will constantly need checking and repairing – By changing your old tile, tin, asbestos or decramastic roof over to a Bluescope Colorbond Roof, you will get 25 years+ Warranty which will give you peace of mind. When repairs need doing - Do NOT attempt to carry out roof repairs yourself. Working on roofs can be extremely dangerous. Damaged roofs may also be unsafe. Fixing roof seals, replacing damaged roofing and other work must be done properly, by licensed tradespeople. Leave the work to the roof professionals at Brizroof Roofing Specialist, a member of Master Builders QLD. Brizroof guarantee quality workmanship and ensures your roof meets Australian Standard.
