Living in Chelsea brings the beautiful bayside lifestyle, but it also brings some stubborn challenges for your gutters. The combination of corrosive salt spray from Port Phillip Bay and the flat coastal terrain creates a perfect storm for gutter problems that can seriously damage your property.
At Xclusive Roofing, we specialise in installing and maintaining gutter systems designed to withstand all sorts of pressures, including those from the coast. Whether you're dealing with rust damage on your classic weatherboard or water pooling issues at your brick veneer home, we can help your property stay protected year-round.

The bayside location that makes this area so desirable also creates significant challenges for your drainage system. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion, causing standard gutters in Chelsea to rust through far more quickly than in inland suburbs. This isn't just about aesthetics, either. Compromised gutters can lead to expensive foundation damage and structural issues.
The proximity to Port Phillip Bay means your gutters constantly face salt spray, particularly during windy conditions. This accelerates the oxidation process, causing standard galvanised gutters to fail within just a few years.
The low-lying, flat coastal terrain means overflowing gutters in Chelsea don't drain away naturally–they pool against your foundations. This becomes particularly problematic during heavy downpours, when blocked or undersized gutters can't handle the water volume. The result? Water seeps into foundations, causing cracks, settlement issues, and potentially thousands in repair costs.
We understand these challenges and can provide gutter services tailored to Chelsea's specific weather and temperature conditions. Our approach goes beyond a simple installation–we can design complete drainage systems that protect your entire property.
We exclusively use premium materials like COLORBOND® steel for all installations of gutters in Chelsea. These modern materials can resist salt corrosion, maintaining their integrity and appearance for decades rather than years. The investment in quality materials pays for itself by eliminating the need for frequent replacements.
We offer custom-made flashing to make certain perfect integration between your roof and gutter system. This precision approach prevents water ingress at vulnerable junction points, a common failure point in standard installations.
Our team's knowledge with a variety of architectural styles means we can smoothly integrate your new gutter system whether you're in a heritage home or a contemporary residence in the newer developments.
With over 150 years of combined experience across our team, we've developed an in-depth knowledge in coastal drainage challenges.

With standard galvanised gutters, you might need replacement every 5-10 years due to salt corrosion. However, our COLORBOND® steel installations can last 20-25 years or more with proper maintenance, making them a smart long-term investment for locals.
For properties close to the bay, we recommend COLORBOND® steel with specific coastal-grade coatings. These materials resist salt spray and maintain their appearance despite constant exposure to harsh marine conditions.
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of COLORBOND® colours to perfectly complement your existing roof. Whether you have a heritage home requiring subtle tones or a modern property with bold colours, we’ll ensure a smooth aesthetic integration.
Yes, we regularly work with insurance companies for storm damage claims. We can assess damage, provide detailed reports for your claim, and complete approved repairs or replacements efficiently.
Chelsea’s coastal winds drive rain at unusual angles, making standard flashing inadequate. Custom-made flashing provides perfect seals at all roof-to-wall junctions, preventing water ingress that generic services might miss.
