Possum proofing is about the whole house, not just the gap a possum is using today. The crew we book goes around the roof line looking for every spot a possum could squeeze through, and closes each one. For homes in Western Brisbane, where big trees and sloping blocks put roofs within easy reach, proofing is often the step that finally ends years of on-and-off visits.
The crew checks from the ground, from a ladder and from inside the roof space, where daylight coming through a gap is easy to see. They then choose a material to suit each spot, so the fix blends in and holds up to wind and summer storms.
- Mesh fitted over open eaves and gable ends
- Loose or cracked ridge capping rebedded or sealed
- Flashing where roof sheets meet walls
- New screens on vents and whirlybirds
- Joins sealed where patios and carports meet the house
- Advice on branches that give possums a path to the roof
Proofing is done once the roof space is empty, so it is often booked straight after a removal. If you have had possums removed before and they keep coming back, the gaps were probably not all closed. The crew will show you photos of each spot before and after.
Western suburbs roofs often have more gaps than people expect, especially on homes with several extensions, so allow time for a close look. We give you upfront pricing based on the roof type, the size of the house and the number of gaps you have noticed. The crew confirms the price for anything extra before starting.
