Or try it on the web →Quoting leaf guard installation looks simple, but it's easy to get stung. This leaf guard installation quote template is built for Aussie roofers doing standard residential jobs on tile or metal roofs. The main things guys get wrong are underestimating labour on steep pitches—anything over 25 degrees needs extra time and safety gear—and not factoring enough waste for complex rooflines with multiple hips and valleys. Get the measurements and labour right, and you protect your profit. This template helps you price every screw and metre of mesh correctly, so you're not working for free on the tricky bits.
How to Price Leaf Guard Labour and Materials
Price leaf guard jobs per linear metre, but adjust for complexity. A simple single-storey brick veneer might be $35-$55 per metre. This covers materials like All-Flow aluminium mesh from Bunnings Trade, which runs about $10-$15 per metre, plus screws and silicone. Your labour is the biggest variable. A steep roof (over 30 degrees) or a two-storey house immediately adds 20-30% to your labour time due to harness work and extra safety precautions. Don't forget to price valleys separately; they use wider mesh and take longer to fit correctly. For a standard 60-metre home, always budget for at least 5% material waste.
What Most Roofers Forget on a Leaf Guard Quote
The biggest mistake is not charging for gutter cleaning. It's not part of the installation, it's a separate line item. A gutter full of wet sludge can add hours to the job. Always quote 'Gutter clean prior to installation' separately, usually $4-$6 per metre. Another forgotten cost is rubbish removal; a standard house can generate 3-4 large bags of debris. Also, factor in access. A two-storey job or a steep pitch might require edge protection or scaffolding hire, adding $500-$1500 to the cost. Forgetting this will wipe out your entire profit. All work at height must use gear that meets AS/NZS 1891 standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, slightly. Tiled roofs often require more precise trimming of the mesh to sit correctly under the second course of tiles, and the saddles or clips can take longer to install than screwing directly to a metal roof's gutter lip. Add around 10-15% to your labour calculation for a standard concrete tile roof compared to a Colorbond roof.
Measure every straight run of guttering with a laser measure or tape and add them up for a total linear metre count. Don't just measure the house footprint. Walk the perimeter and measure the valleys separately as they require wider, more expensive mesh. For a typical 4-bedroom house, expect around 50-70 linear metres of guttering.
Yes, offer a warranty on your workmanship, typically 12-24 months. This covers screws coming loose or sections lifting. The material itself usually has a manufacturer's warranty, like the 15-year warranty on Gumleaf gutter guard. Make sure your quote specifies that your warranty covers installation labour only, not product failure or storm damage.
