Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the gaps it used are left open, another possum will often move in within weeks. Possum proofing in Bridgeman Downs closes those gaps so the roof space stays shut. We give you an upfront price on the phone and book a nearby crew to do the work.
The crew we book walks the full roof line and checks every spot where a possum could squeeze in. On tiled roofs that often means cracked or loose ridge capping, lifted tiles and gaps at the valleys. On metal roofs it is more likely to be the gap under the sheet ends, loose flashing or the join where an extension or patio meets the main roof. Common fixes include:
- Galvanised mesh over gaps at eaves and fascia boards
- Sealing around pipes, cables and roof vents
- Closing gaps under ridge capping and at valleys
- Fitting mesh or flashing where roof sections join
- Blocking the space above gutters on metal roofs
The crew works from the ground, from a ladder and from inside the roof space, so they can see gaps from both sides. Once the work is done, they point out what was sealed so you can see it for yourself. If a tree gives easy access to the roof, they may suggest a tree guard as well.
Proofing is often booked together with possum removal, but it can also be done on its own if you want to get ahead of the problem. To book possum proofing anywhere in Bridgeman Downs, call 07 3543 7768 and tell us about your roof. We will give you a price and a time.
