Every possum in a roof got there through a gap. Sometimes it is obvious, like a broken tile or a bent sheet of metal. Other times it is a narrow space under the ridge capping or behind a gutter that you would never spot from the ground. In Southern Brisbane, storms and hot summers slowly shift roofing, so new gaps open up over the years.
Roof entry sealing focuses on the points a possum is actually using. The crew we book looks for rub marks, hair caught on edges, droppings near the gap and worn paths across the roof. These signs show which openings are in use. Each one is then closed with material that suits the spot, whether that is mesh, sheeting or a fitted cover.
- Search for active entry points using rub marks, hair and droppings
- Sealing with galvanised mesh or metal sheeting
- Fitted covers for vents and pipe openings
- A check that the possum is out before the final gap is closed
- A short run-down of each sealed point
Timing matters with sealing. If a gap is closed while a possum is still inside, it may try to force its way out somewhere else or end up stuck. The crew checks that the roof space is clear before the final entry point is shut. Where needed, the possum is moved out first, then the gap is sealed on the same visit.
Sealing is priced by the number and type of gaps, and we give you upfront pricing before the visit based on what you describe. The crew will confirm on site before starting. For roof entry sealing in Southern Brisbane, call 07 3543 7766 and we will book a nearby independent crew.
