Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a roof plumber and a roofing contractor?
The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they refer to different qualifications and scopes of work in Australia. A roof plumber is a licensed tradesperson specifically trained and certified to install and repair roof drainage systems — including gutters, downpipes, flashings, valleys, and roof coverings such as metal sheeting. A roofing contractor is a broader term that can refer to anyone working on roofs, but does not necessarily imply a licensed trade qualification. In Victoria, roof plumbing is a regulated trade under the Victorian Building Authority, meaning only licensed roof plumbers can legally carry out this type of work. When hiring someone to work on your roof drainage system, always confirm they hold a current roof plumbing licence — not just a general builder's or contractor's registration.
How do I stop my gutters from overflowing during heavy rain?
Overflowing gutters during heavy rain are usually caused by one or more of the following: blockages from leaves and debris, insufficient gutter size for the roof catchment area, incorrect gutter fall preventing water from reaching the downpipes, or too few downpipes to handle peak water flow. The first step is ensuring gutters are clear of debris and downpipes are free-flowing. If the gutters are clean but still overflowing, the issue may be with the fall — gutters need a consistent downward slope toward the downpipe outlet to drain effectively. In some cases, the gutter profile or size may simply be undersized for the roof area it's draining, particularly if extensions or alterations have been made to the home since the original installation. A licensed roof plumber can assess the system and recommend the most practical solution, whether that's repositioning outlets, adding downpipes, or upgrading to a larger profile.
What causes rust on metal gutters and how can it be prevented?
Rust on metal gutters is caused by the breakdown of the protective coating on the steel, exposing the base metal to moisture and oxygen. This process is accelerated by a number of factors, including prolonged exposure to standing water, leaf and debris build-up that retains moisture against the gutter surface, physical damage that scratches through the coating, and in coastal or semi-rural areas, airborne salt and dust particles that settle on the metal. Galvanised steel gutters are more susceptible to rust than Colorbond, which has a more durable baked-on coating designed to resist corrosion for longer. Prevention comes down to regular cleaning to remove debris, prompt repair of any scratches or damage to the coating, and periodic inspection to catch early-stage rust before it spreads. When rust is already established, affected sections may need to be replaced rather than treated, particularly if corrosion has compromised the structural integrity of the gutter.
