A possum living in the roof is hard to ignore. You hear it run across the ceiling soon after dark, then again before dawn. In Southern Brisbane the problem shows up on every kind of roof, from old tin roofs on timber homes to tiled roofs on brick lowsets and metal roofs on newer builds. Each type has its own weak points, and each needs a slightly different approach.
The crew we book gets into the roof space through the manhole and looks for nesting spots, droppings, stains and squashed insulation. From the outside they check ridge capping, valleys, gutters and fascia boards. Putting both views together shows where the possum is coming and going, and whether more than one gap is in use.

On tiled roofs the fix is often a matter of re-bedding or replacing a shifted tile and closing the gap underneath. On tin and metal roofs, the crew may fit mesh or sheeting under the ridge or along the gutter line. The aim is to close the gap in a way that suits the roof, not to leave an obvious patch.
You get upfront pricing on the phone before the visit, based on what you tell us about the roof. If the crew finds more than expected, they will explain it and give you the price before doing anything extra.
