Many older homes in Southern Brisbane still have a chimney, even if the fireplace has not been used in years. An open chimney is an easy way down for a possum. They climb the brickwork or step across from the roof, drop inside and then find their way into the roof space or even the room below. Old flues from heaters and stoves can do the same.

Chimney capping means fitting a sturdy cover over the opening of the chimney or flue. The crew we book checks the chimney from the roof, looks for signs of nesting inside and makes sure no possum is in there before the cap goes on. They also check where the chimney meets the roof, as gaps in the flashing can be another way in.

  • A check that the chimney or flue is clear before capping
  • A mesh or metal cap fitted over the opening
  • Flashing checked where the chimney meets the roof
  • Old unused flues and vents covered
  • A note on any loose bricks or damage spotted

If you still use the fireplace, the cap is fitted so smoke can still escape while animals stay out. If the chimney is no longer in use, it can be closed off altogether. Either way, the crew will explain the options and the price before any work starts, and you pick the one that suits your home.

Chimneys are easy to miss, because you cannot see into them from the ground. If you hear scratching near a fireplace or in a wall beside it, that is a strong hint. To book chimney capping in Southern Brisbane, call 07 3543 7766 and we will give you upfront pricing and book a local team.

Chimney Capping FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Chimney Capping

Questions we hear most often about Chimney Capping in Southern Brisbane.

Talk to a real person
Do I need to be home for the visit?
It helps if someone is home, because the crew usually needs to get into the ceiling through the manhole. If you cannot be there, tell us when you call. Some jobs can be done from outside, such as sealing gaps along the roof line, but a roof cavity check needs access inside the house.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Clear the area under the manhole so a ladder can be set up. Keep pets inside and away from the work area. Move cars or bins that block the side of the house. Jot down where and when you hear the noise, and point out any stains or smells. Small details help the crew find the way in sooner.
Why are possums noisier at certain times of year?
Brushtail possums are active at night all year, but many people notice more noise in autumn and spring. That is when young possums start moving about and adults look for new spots to shelter. Cooler nights in winter also push possums toward warm roof spaces, so calls often pick up as the weather turns.
How does possum proofing work?
Proofing means closing the gaps a possum could use to get back in. The crew checks the roof line from the outside and the cavity from the inside, then covers openings with mesh, sheeting or purpose-made fittings. The aim is a roof with no easy way in, not just one patched hole.
What damage can a possum cause in a roof?
Possum urine soaks into ceiling boards and insulation, leaving stains and a strong smell. Droppings build up over time. Possums can also chew wiring and push insulation aside, which makes the rooms below harder to heat and cool. The longer one stays, the more clean-up is usually needed once it is gone.
