Roof entry sealing closes the specific gaps possums use to get into the roof space. In Toowong, the common ones are gaps under ridge capping on tin roofs, spaces where the roof sheets sit over the gutters, broken or slipped tiles, rotted eave boards, open gable ends and old roof ventilator or vent openings. Some are obvious from the ground. Others only show up on a ladder or from inside the roof. Possums are strong and can push through loose flashing or pull at soft materials, so the repair needs to be solid.
The crew we book checks each gap and seals it with materials to suit the roof. Sealing is usually done alongside a one-way door, so the roof space is closed up once the door comes off. The work can include:
- Galvanised mesh under ridge capping and roof sheet ends
- Replacing or re-seating broken tiles near entry points
- Timber or sheet repairs to rotted eave boards
- Mesh covers for open gable ends and vents
- Sealing gaps around solar and air conditioner cables
The crew will show you photos of the gaps they find and explain what they plan to seal, and you get upfront pricing before any work goes ahead. Larger repairs, such as replacing whole sections of roofing, are a job for a roofer, and the crew will say if they see something like that. Keep pets inside during the visit and move cars out of the way if the crew needs ladder room along the driveway. Sealing also helps keep rats and mice out of the roof.
