Roof proofing is about stopping the next possum, not just the one you hear now. Many people in Morayfield have had a possum dealt with once, only to hear new footsteps a few months later through a different gap. Proofing closes those other gaps so the roof line holds up. It also means the roof space stays clean once any mess has been dealt with. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew to do the work.
The crew we book walks the full roof line and checks each place a possum could squeeze through. On tiled roofs that means ridge capping, valley irons, broken or slipped tiles and the gap where the tiles meet the gutter. On metal roofs it means the ends of the sheets, the barge capping and any gap under the flashing. They also look at eave lining, fascia boards and the joins where extensions meet the old roof.
Gaps are closed with galvanised mesh, metal flashing and outdoor sealant that suit the roof type. Where a possum is still inside, a one-way door is fitted first and the rest of the proofing is done around it. The final gap is sealed once the roof space is clear.
