The FloPlast Gutter Drain Guard is an essential home maintenance accessory designed for homeowners looking to prevent rainwater system blockages. By placing these guards over the entry points where rainwater pipes meet the ground-level gully, you can effectively stop leaves and debris from entering and clogging your drainage system. While these units are highly durable and easy to install, they require periodic inspection to ensure the mesh remains clear of accumulated organic material that can impede water flow over time.

These guards are primarily designed for standard round pipe configurations found at most gully inlets.
While the material is durable, we recommend using a plastic-adhesion primer and suitable exterior-grade paint if customization is desired.
The pack contains the guards; you will need to provide appropriate wall screws and plugs based on your specific wall material (brick, stone, or render).
We recommend checking them monthly, or immediately following high-wind storms which may blow debris onto the surface.
Yes, because the guard sits over the gully entry point on the wall, no disassembly of the existing rainwater pipe system is required.
Check if the guard is clogged with debris; clean the surface mesh to allow water to pass through freely.
Tighten the screws used in the fixing tabs or check if the wall plugs have worked loose due to thermal expansion.
Installation is straightforward but requires basic DIY skills. Position the guard centrally over the gully entry point ensuring the drain pipe outlet is fully covered. Use the integrated fixing tabs as a template to mark your drill holes on the wall. After drilling appropriate pilot holes, secure the unit using wall plugs and screws.
For ongoing care, visually inspect the guards once a month, especially during the fall. If you notice a buildup of sediment or leaves on the mesh, clear the debris with a soft hand brush. Do not use high-pressure washers directly on the guards, as this may displace the unit or damage the fixing points.
