Taking a possum out of the roof solves today's noise. Proofing is what stops the next one. Many homes in Sunnybank Hills have more than one weak spot, and once a warm roof space has been used, other possums in the area can pick up on it quickly. Proofing closes every likely way in, not just the one that was used.
We book a local team to go over the roof line with that in mind. The crew we book checks the roof from inside and out, then works through each gap with the right fix. Mesh goes over vents and small openings, flashing is fitted where sheets meet walls, and loose capping and eave boards are packed or fixed back in place.
- Vents and whirlybird bases covered with galvanised mesh
- Ridge and hip capping packed where mortar has cracked
- Gaps under roof sheets closed at the gutter line
- Eave lining fixed back or patched
- Joins between old and new roof sections sealed
Proofing is often done straight after a one-way door comes off, while the crew is already on the roof. It can also be booked on its own if you see possums on your roof at night but they have not moved in yet. Adding downpipe guards and tree branch trimming makes it harder for them to reach the roof at all.
You get upfront pricing on the phone, and the crew tells you what they plan to seal before starting. Tell us if you have a two-storey home or a steep roof, so the crew brings the right gear. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. For possum proofing in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765.
