Gutter Repairs and Replacement IN MELBOURNE
Gutters don’t get much attention until they stop doing their job. By then, water staining on the fascia, pooling along the foundation, paint peeling from the eaves, the damage has usually been building for a while.
The good news is that most gutter problems are straightforward to fix when you catch them early. And if the gutters have had their day, we’ll tell you that too and sort the full replacement.
O’Shea Trades has been working on Melbourne homes since 1978.

Some gutters are worth repairing. Others have corroded past the point of a reliable fix, or the problems are spread across too many sections to make patching worthwhile.
If your home has older steel gutters that are rusting through in multiple places, or the gutter profile is no longer available for matching, replacement is usually the smarter investment. We’ll give you a straight answer on which situation you’re in, not the one that suits us.
Signs it might be time to replace rather than repair:
- Rust, corrosion, or holes appearing in multiple sections
- Gutters pulling away from the fascia repeatedly
- Persistent leaks returning in the same spots after previous repairs
- Fascia or eave timber showing signs of ongoing moisture damage
- Gutters that are badly undersized for the roof area they’re draining
Fascia Condition Matters
The fascia board is what your gutters are fixed to. If it’s rotted or soft, the new gutters won’t hold properly, and we’ll find out the hard way six months down the track.
We inspect the fascia as part of any gutter replacement job. If sections need replacing before the gutters go on, we handle that too. You won’t need to bring in a separate carpenter, our carpenters are in-house
Fully Licensed, Insured
All gutter work is carried out by licensed tradespeople. O’Shea Trades holds the relevant building licences and registrations, and every job is properly insured. If you’re getting quotes from other contractors, it’s worth asking the same question.
Fixed Pricing, Honest Quotes
You’ll get a fixed price before anything starts. If we find something unexpected when we pull the old gutters off, like rotted fascia behind them, we talk to you about it before we proceed, not after.
That’s how we’ve operated since 1978.
What We Repair

Overflowing gutters
We work across the full range of gutter profiles and materials you’ll find on Melbourne homes – including Colorbond, aluminium, zincalume, and older galvanised steel. If we can fix it cleanly, we will.
What Gutter Replacement Involves
A proper gutter replacement isn’t just pulling the old one off and nailing up a new one. Getting it right means making sure the pitch is correct, the downpipes are positioned properly, and everything ties in with the fascia and the roof edge the way it should. Depending on the job, the scope typically includes:
-
Removal of existing guttering and downpipes
-
Assessment of fascia boards (replaced where necessary before the new gutters go on), often, clients choose to go with metal fascia covers in lieu of timber.
-
Supply and installation of new guttering in the correct profile and material
-
Downpipe installation and connection to drainage
-
Correct fall and alignment across the full run
-
Site clean-up on completion
We don’t cut corners on pitch. A gutter that doesn’t drain properly will always end up back on our schedule.
