Roof plumbing is a licensed plumbing trade covering the installation, repair and maintenance of systems that collect and direct rainwater away from your property. This includes gutters, downpipes, rainwater heads, overflow relief systems and the connections that tie your roof drainage into your stormwater or rainwater tank system.
At Mamone’s Plumbing & Gas, our licensed plumbers handle all aspects of roof plumbing from replacing corroded gutters on an older home to installing complete stormwater management systems on new commercial builds. We understand Melbourne’s western suburbs housing stock, from weatherboard cottages in Footscray to new estates in Werribee and specify materials and systems suited to each property type.

Blocked & Overflowing Gutters
Clearing of blocked gutters and downpipes leaf debris, silt, bird nests and installation of gutter guard to reduce ongoing maintenance requirements.
Many gutter and roof drainage problems develop gradually and go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Water overflowing gutters during rain, water stains on fascias or soffits, peeling paint near eaves, damp patches on internal walls or ceilings near the roofline and pools of water forming against your foundation are all signs that your roof drainage system needs inspection.
In Melbourne’s western suburbs, corroded steel gutters, sagging gutters with blocked outlets and downpipes that discharge against the house are common issues we see particularly on homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. We carry out a full roof drainage assessment and provide a clear report of what needs attention and why.
Property Protection
Properly functioning gutters and downpipes protect your roof framing, walls and foundations from water ingress preventing expensive structural repairs.
Council Compliance
Stormwater connections to council infrastructure must be carried out by a licensed plumber. We handle all required permits and provide compliance certificates.
Gutter material selection affects both the longevity and the maintenance requirements of your roof drainage system. In Melbourne’s western suburbs, the most common gutter materials are Colorbond steel, Zincalume steel and uPVC. Each has its advantages depending on your property type, aesthetic preferences and the local environment.
Colorbond steel gutters are popular for their durability, colour range and resistance to corrosion when properly installed. Zincalume provides excellent corrosion resistance without paint and is commonly used on industrial buildings. uPVC gutters are a cost-effective option for residential properties and require no painting. In coastal areas near Altona and Williamstown, choosing a gutter material and fixing method rated for salt air environments is important to ensure long service life.
Matching Your Existing Profile
We can match the profile of your existing gutters for partial replacements, choosing from Quad, OG, Fascia, Square Line and other standard profiles in a range of materials and colours.
Gutter Guard Installation
Gutter guard reduces the frequency of gutter cleaning by preventing leaf debris from accumulating in the gutter channel. We supply and install a range of gutter guard products suitable for different roof and tree environments.
