Gutter guards for houses with trees nearby
If a tree hangs over your roof, you know the problem. Leaves drop in, the gutter blocks and the water pours over the edge.
- Trees close to the houseLeaves are the main thing guards are good at stopping.
- Gutters that are hard to reachFewer blockages means fewer awkward visits.
- Tall or awkward buildingsLess debris getting in means less to clear.
Mesh gutter guards: a screen over the channel
A mesh guard is a perforated or woven cover that sits over the gutter. Rain goes through the holes. Leaves sit on top and blow away or dry out.
- Good for leaves and larger debris from trees.
- Less good for fine grit and moss that is small enough to pass through.
- Check it from time to time. Debris can build up on top.
Brush and hedgehog guards: bristles inside the gutter
A brush guard is a long tube of stiff bristles that sits in the gutter. Hedgehog guards are the same idea. Water runs through the bristles, leaves stay on top.
- Easy to fit in most shapes of gutter, including older ones.
- Lifts out so it can be taken up for cleaning.
- Not a cure for moss that washes off the roof, which still collects in the gutter.
Guards fitted after a gutter clean, with honest limits
There is no point fitting guards over a dirty gutter. We clean first, then fit, so you begin with a clear run.
- Clean first with our vacuum and reach poles from the ground. See gutter cleaning in Glasgow.
- Fit the guard along the run, secure and tidy.
- Still check once a year. Guards cut the work. They do not remove it.
If a roof is shedding moss, a roof clean deals with the cause.

Gutter guard questions from Glasgow homeowners
What does a gutter guard do?
It covers the gutter so leaves and bigger debris cannot drop in, while rain still gets through. That means fewer blockages from trees nearby.
Will I still need my gutters cleaned?
Usually, yes. Guards stop leaves, but moss washed off the roof, roof grit and fine dirt still get through. A yearly check is still sensible, and our gutter cleaning includes the guards.
Which type is best: mesh, brush or hedgehog?
It depends on the trees, the gutter and the roof edge. We explain the options and fit the one we think suits your house.
Can guards go on any gutter?
Most, but not all. Some gutters or roof edges do not suit certain types. We look at yours and tell you honestly if guards will not help.
Can you fit guards on gutters that are hard to reach?
Yes. We work from the ground with reach poles where we can, and from our tracked access platform on taller buildings. No ladders.
