Black poly guard is an add-on we fit while we're on your roof. It stops leaves packing down into the gutter — you'll still want regular cleans, but they're far quicker and the gutter stays in better shape between them.

This is why we use the black poly kind — it's easy to work with. What collects on top blows off, instead of us digging compacted muck out of the gutter.
Keeping debris out of the channel and downpipe mouths means less chance of an overflow catching you out mid-winter.
Guard is an add-on, not a set-and-forget fix — anyone telling you it's the end of gutter cleaning is overselling it. Under heavy gums, debris still builds on top and still needs clearing. What it buys you is easier, faster cleans and a gutter that isn't packed solid when we get there.
We fit it after a full clean — guard over debris just traps the problem. It's laid along the gutter line, tucked under the roof edge and held by the gutter itself: no screws, no glue, nothing drilled into your roof, and it lifts straight off when we come back.
