Husband and I had gutter guard installed on our 2 storey home (concrete tiles) about 3 months ago by a company advertised in our Yellow Pages (Qld/NSW border) quite prominately. Cost $700
When it finally rained, a BRIEF shower one afternoon, one side of the house guttering, leaked badly. Water flowing between gutter and fascia board, causing bubbling of paintwork on the ceiling of verandah.
Other side of house seemed fine.
Spoke to the contractor, who agreed to look at it, but insinuated that it must have been leaking previous to the work. It hadn't. He sent his offsider, who removed some of the gutter guard, in places where he said the original tiles were not installed over the guttering correctly (this is a late 70s house) We've been here 3 1/2 years.
Last night, we had our first HEAVY downfall in ages, both sides of house leaked, only worse. Water came in on window sills!
We are getting towards elderly, cannot climb roofs, who to trust to look at our roof/guttering/guard independently?
Any suggestions to make a start, possibly will end up at Fair Trading, but need advice.
WHO DO YOU CALL? Please.

Thanks for that Hawk, we think plumber needed next to attend to some other small jobs, so will ask about getting that fitting you have pictured.' thankyou.
Husband is in bad health, so I don't feel like lodging complaint, things stressful enough as it is.
Pity that installer will continue on his way I know.
