Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the gaps stay open, another possum will find them, often within weeks. Possum proofing closes up the ways in so the roof stays shut. We take bookings for possum proofing in Rocklea and book an independent crew that works nearby.
The crew we book walks around the whole house and checks every spot a possum could squeeze through. Common gaps include broken or missing eave boards, gaps where the roof meets a wall, lifted iron sheets, loose ridge capping, open vents and spaces behind gutters. A possum can fit through a gap about the size of a tennis ball, so even small openings matter. The crew also looks at pergolas, patio roofs and carports, as these often join the main roof and hide a gap.
Each gap is closed with material that suits the spot, such as galvanised mesh, sheet metal, flashing or timber. The work is done so that the roof still breathes and rain can still drain. If a possum is still inside, the crew fits a one-way door first and seals the last gap once the roof is empty.

Proofing suits older timber homes, brick houses and townhouses across Rocklea, and it is often booked straight after a removal. Call 07 3543 7765 and tell us about your roof and any gaps you have spotted. We will give you upfront pricing and book a local crew, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
