Newcastle’s Best Guttering & Downpipes Service
When it comes to installing, replacing or repairing any part of a gutter system, you need experienced specialists to get the job done properly and on time.
Guttering: Solid steel guttering helps to maintain the structural integrity of your roof and can prevent serious problems from developing over time. Our gutter replacement, installation and repair contractors use the highest quality, reliable guttering to build a system for your home that effectively diverts water, leaf litter and other debris.
Fascia: The fascia board runs alongside the building, hiding outdoor rafters and securing the gutters to your home. We can install a range of stylish fascia to match your gutters and complement the style of the existing property.
Downpipes: A downpipe is a piece of pipe that carries rainwater from a gutter to a sub-surface drainage system or ground level, and part of a roof drainage system. Our contractors use the highest quality product for our downpipes to prevent erosion and prolong the life of your gutter system. Downpipe installation must also meet certain requirements, for example, each downpipe must serve no more than a 12m length of gutter and must be located as close as possible to valley gutters.
Our team of experienced contractors work with builders and homeowners to get your project done on time and on budget. Elite Roofing Group provides the following roofing services across the Hunter Region, including Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

Fascia, Gutters & Downpipes FAQs
What is a Fascia on a Gutter?
Fascia is the siding panel between the wall of your house and your gutter, and is an important – though not well known – part of your roofing and gutter system.
What is the Difference Between Fascia and a Gutter?
The fascia board is what secures the gutters to your home and can also be used to cover the fixing space between the roof, eaves and wall. While gutters are the steel attachment to the outside of your home that is used to divert water and debris from your roof and around your home to designated drainage points.
What is the Purpose of Fascia on a House?
The purpose of fascia on a house is to help keep moisture out of the roof. When it is installed properly, fascia supports the roof, shingles, and gutters.
Do You Need Fascia Behind the Gutter?
The short answer is yes. Roofing contractors use the fascia board to provide a stable mount for the gutters, cover gaps leading straight into your roof, and protect your roof from the weather and animals.
Do Gutters Need to Go All Around the House?
How much guttering you’ll need will depend on the size of your house and how many slopes you have dividing it. Properly installed gutter systems can be efficient enough without having gutters go all around the house, but depending on different factors, your particular home may require it.
What is Distance Between Downpipes on Guttering?
According to the National Construction Code, you need “a maximum 12m gutter length served by each downpipe is to ensure effective fall and adequate capacity to discharge all water anticipated during a storm having an average recurrence interval of 20 years.”
How Often Should You Replace Downpipes?
You will likely need to replace your downpipes, usually made from the same steel or aluminium as your gutters, approximately every 20 years. They can last longer if they are well-maintained.
How Do You Clean Gutters and Downpipes? And How Often Should You Clean Them?
You should clean out gutters between 2-4 times per year and it’s best to remove debris by hand, and then rinse the inside clean with a hose (not a pressure washer).
Which is Better Round or Square Downpipes?
Generally speaking, round downpipes were designed for easy drainage and expulsion. However, square downpipes are designed to site flush and can be the more popular choice for aesthetic reasons.
