Possum proofing is the work that keeps a possum out once it has gone. In Robertson, most houses give possums more than one way in. Lifted roof tiles, gaps where the fascia meets the tiles, open gable vents and holes around pipes and cables are all common. A possum only needs a gap about the size of a small orange to squeeze through.
When you call, we ask about the age and style of the house and whether you have had possum trouble before. That helps us give upfront pricing for the proofing and book the right crew. On site, the crew walks the roofline, checks the roof space from the inside and marks every gap they find. They show you the list before they start.
The crew we book uses materials that suit the roof. Galvanised mesh is folded into gaps under tiles and along the eaves. Metal flashing is shaped to cover larger holes. Vents get mesh covers that still let air through. Everything is fixed so it sits neatly and does not stand out from the street.
- Gaps under ridge capping and lifted tiles
- Eave and fascia gaps along the gutter line
- Open gable and roof vents
- Holes around pipes, cables and air conditioning lines
- Box gutters and gaps where extensions meet the old roof
Proofing is often booked together with removal, but it can also be done on its own if the roof is already empty. Many people book it after a possum has moved out, to stop the next one moving in.
