Eaves and vents are some of the easiest ways into a roof. Timber eave boards shrink, crack or pull away over time, and gable vents or wall vents often have gaps a rat or possum can push through. Eave and vent screening in Bridgeman Downs covers those openings with mesh while still letting the roof space breathe. We give you an upfront price and book a nearby crew.
The crew we book walks around the house and checks every eave, gable end and vent. Where eave boards meet the fascia or the wall, they look for gaps and soft timber. On raised homes they also check the vents and openings under the floor. Screening is usually done with galvanised or stainless mesh that is cut to size and fastened firmly in place. The work can include:
- Mesh behind gable and wall vents
- Screening gaps between eave boards and the wall
- Covering roof vents that animals can lift or push through
- Mesh over subfloor openings on raised homes
Screening is a good match for homes that have had possums or rats before, or homes near bushland and big trees where animals are always around. It is often booked with possum proofing or rodent proofing so the whole outside of the house is checked in one go. The crew shows you each spot they covered when they finish. Mesh keeps air moving, so the roof space does not get hotter in summer.
