Dulwich Hill is a vibrant and increasingly sought after inner west suburb with a strong community character and a beautiful heritage streetscape, and its canopy of mature plane trees, jacarandas, and established native plantings creates genuine and consistent gutter maintenance demands for homeowners across the area. The suburb’s leafy streets deliver a heavy and varied debris load throughout the year, with the spectacular jacaranda and deciduous leaf fall in autumn and spring capable of blocking gutters and downpipes on older terrace and bungalow homes within a surprisingly short period. Many Dulwich Hill properties feature original or ageing guttering systems on Federation and Californian bungalow homes where moisture finding its way into ornate eaves and rendered facades during Sydney’s storm season can lead to repairs that are both expensive and architecturally sensitive.
