Clear leaves and bark before fire season
Dry eucalyptus leaves, bark, and pine needles in box gutters can catch embers. Clearing that debris around Castle Hill, Glenhaven, Kenthurst, and Dural is the first job before fire season.
Mesh versus a regular vacuum clean
Gum tree needles get through standard plastic mesh. Aluminium and stainless ski-slope mesh keeps more of them out, and it can be colour-matched to Colorbond. Compare that with a regular vacuum clean when you choose guards for a leafy Hills roof.
Check downpipes and flush blockages
We check the downpipes and flush blocked ones with water so stormwater can drain. Cleared gutters and strainers also help with November jacaranda drop and overflow behind the fascia.
Ask us to quote the clear
