Getting a possum out of the roof is only half the job. If the gap it used is still open, another possum can move in within days. Possum proofing closes those gaps so the roof space stays shut. We book local crews who do this work across Bulimba every week, on tin roofs, tiled roofs and the shared roof lines of townhouses.
The crew we book walks the roof line and checks the ceiling space from the inside. They look at ridge caps, valleys, the join between gutter and fascia, roof vents, pipe openings and any spot where timber has rotted or shifted. Each gap is then closed with a material that suits it, so the fix holds up through Brisbane storms and summer heat. Common proofing work includes:
- Galvanised mesh fitted over gaps under the eaves
- Flashing bent to shape along gaps at the roof edge
- Mesh covers over roof vents and whirlybird bases
- Sealant or mesh around pipes and cables that pass through the roof
- Blocking gaps where the gutter pulls away from the fascia
Proofing is often done in the same visit as removal, once the possum is out of the roof. It can also be booked on its own if you have had a possum before and want to stop the next one. The crew will show you each gap they closed so you can see what was done. If a tree branch rests on the roof, they will point it out, since branches are a common way back in.
