Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the gaps stay open, another possum will often move in within weeks. Possum proofing closes those gaps. We book an independent crew near Annerley to find and seal every entry point on your home, and we give you upfront pricing on the phone first.
The crew starts with a walk around the outside of the house. They check eaves, fascia boards, gable vents, ridge capping, roof sheets and the spots where the roof meets a verandah or carport. Inside the roof space they look for daylight coming through and for rub marks where possums squeeze past. Each gap is measured and closed with the right material, such as galvanised mesh, sheet metal or flashing.
Older homes often need more work because timber shrinks and moves over the years. Newer brick homes usually have fewer gaps, but possums still get in beside air conditioner pipes, solar panel brackets and roof vents. The crew uses materials that suit the look of your home, so the fix blends in with the roofline. Where a gap is too big to mesh, they cut and fit a sheet metal cover.
