Project Description

Box Gutter Replacement & Fibreglass Sheet Replacement in Gosford NSW

Replacing the fibreglass sheet on a workshop roof and repairing box gutters that have been leaking for several years was the focus of this job. After many years of wear and tear, the original box gutters had become damaged and would not keep water from entering, which posed a potential threat to both the building itself and all of the tools inside the workshop due to possible water damage.
Our team installed all-new Colorbond Box Gutters with new Sumps to provide the Roof with a Long Lasting and properly sealed Drainage System. In addition, we have removed the existing fibreglass sheets and installed new ones to make the Workshop watertight and prepared to last for many years.

Scope of work:

Replaced the existing fibreglass sheets on the workshop roof
Removed the old, leaking box gutters
Installed new Colorbond box gutters
Installed new sumps to improve water flow and drainage
Sealed and tested all joints and connections to prevent future leaks

Why Box Gutters Need Proper Care

Your home’s gutter system, or box gutters, are constructed as part of your roofline to help control the flow of rainwater. To ensure that your gutters function correctly, it is critical that you seal them correctly. If you do not seal your gutters correctly, you may allow water to seep through into the roof structure, the wall cavity and the ceiling. This can result in damage such as rot, rust, mold and expensive repair costs.

This was done by replacing and sealing the box gutter in Gosford, New South Wales (NSW), so as to stop the leakage and avoid additional water damage. A small problem should not be left until it becomes a large one.

Our Clients Love Us

"We'd been ignoring a stain on the ceiling for months, telling ourselves it was probably nothing. Turned out a section of flashing had come loose in a storm months back and water had been getting in slowly the whole time. Prestige Roofing Solutions came out, found it within the hour, and had it patched and sealed by the end of the day. No lecture about how long we'd left it, just got on with fixing it. Six months on, not a sign of it coming back."

"Booked a roof clean mostly because the moss was starting to bother me, not because anything was actually wrong. Didn't expect much difference honestly, it's just cleaning, right? But the colour came back so much better than I thought and the guy pointed out a couple of loose tiles while he was up there that I'd had no idea about. Got those fixed on the spot for a bit extra instead of finding out about them in the next storm."

"Gutters were overflowing every time it rained hard, water running straight down the side of the house near the foundation. Had someone else quote it a year earlier and just never got around to booking it. Prestige Roofing Solutions came out, cleared everything, found a section that had actually started to sag away from the fascia, and fixed that too. Hasn't overflowed since, even in that big storm we had a few weeks back."

"New build, needed the roof done properly before we moved in. The builder's roofer fell through last minute and we were stressed about finding someone reliable on short notice. Prestige Roofing Solutions fit us in within the week, communicated clearly the whole way, and the finish is honestly better than what our builder's original guy did on the last place we owned."

"Had a leak that three different people couldn't find. One guy just told us to reseal the whole roof, which felt like guessing at our expense. Prestige Roofing Solutions actually traced it back to a cracked ridge cap, fixed just that one section, and it cost a fraction of what we were braced to pay. Wish we'd called them first instead of last."

"Wanted a carport built that actually matched the house instead of looking like it was bolted on as an afterthought, which is what happened to our neighbour's. They asked about the roofline and colour before quoting, not after, and built it to actually sit with the house properly. Get compliments on it more than I expected to."

"Put off getting skylights for years because a mate's place ended up with a leak around his within a year of installing them. Asked a lot of annoying questions before committing and got straight answers every time instead of being brushed off. Been two years now, zero issues, and the extra light in that hallway has genuinely changed how much we use the space."

"We're pretty far out so a lot of places don't bother coming this way for smaller jobs. Prestige Roofing Solutions didn't blink at the drive and turned up on time anyway. Fixed a batten issue that had been on our list for way too long, told us honestly it wasn't urgent but worth doing before winter, no pressure to add anything else on."

"Full Colorbond reroof after the old tile roof started dropping bits of broken tile into the yard, which was becoming a genuine hazard with the kids running around out there. Timeline they gave us at the quote stage was the timeline we got, no blown-out schedule, no excuses. Roof looks sharp and I stopped worrying about the yard."

"Gutter guards had been on the to-do list since we moved in, mostly because I was tired of climbing up there every few months. Should've done it years earlier honestly. Clean install, no mess left behind, and I haven't been back up that ladder since."

"Storm came through and took a decent chunk of tiles with it, right before we were expecting family to stay for the holidays. Called around, most places quoted a week or two out. Prestige Roofing Solutions got someone out within two days and had it properly sorted before anyone arrived. That kind of response when you actually need it matters more than any ad."

"Our roof was over twenty years old and starting to look it, faded tiles, a couple cracked from a hailstorm a few years back. We got quotes from three places and honestly the other two felt like they were trying to talk us into a full replacement we didn't need. Prestige Roofing Solutions suggested a restoration instead, walked us through what that actually involved, and it came in at less than half what the replacement quotes were. Looks like a new roof now."

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to help you make the right decision for your home.

What is a box gutter?

The box gutter is a rectangular-shaped gutter that sits at the top of your home’s roof. This type of gutter typically rests either in front of the roof line or just above the parapet. This particular type of gutter collects all of the rainwater that falls onto the roof, then directs it down to the ground. Because the box gutter is hidden within the roof system, any leaks will not be seen until they have caused significant damage.

Why do box gutters leak?

Common causes of roof leaks are rust and/or corrosion, failed seams/joints, blocked sumps/outlets, poorly installed roofs, and/or general aging. Water may accumulate and spill over the edge if there is a build-up of debris.

Can a leaking box gutter be repaired, or does it need replacing?

Depending on the condition, some minor leaks or broken sealant can be fixed. However, if the gutter is heavily corroded or was leaking for a long period of time, then replacement would be a better choice for long term solutions. We will examine your gutters and provide an honest assessment of what should happen next.

What is a sump and why does it matter?

A sump is an area of the box gutter that allows water to gather and then run off through the downpipe. If you have a poorly designed sump, there will be issues with draining during heavy rains and possible overflows onto your roof or ceiling.

How much does box gutter replacement cost in Gosford?

The price of your project will depend on how many linear feet of gutters you have, what kind of access we can get to your roof (i.e. if it has a low-pitched roof), the type of material that is used for the gutter installation, and the quality of the area of the roof surrounding the installation site. We provide a no obligation, free inspection and estimate.

Why use Colorbond for box gutters?

Colorbond steel is a great option for use in box gutters because of how durable it is, as well as being specifically designed to withstand Australian weather patterns. Colorbond steel will help prevent corrosion from occurring on your gutters, which means they will last much longer than other types of roofing materials. Additionally, Colorbond steel can handle the extreme amount of rain we get in Australia, so you can be sure that your gutters will hold up under the weight of water.
