Entry point sealing is the part of the job that stops a possum getting back into your roof. Once a one way door has cleared the space, the gap the possum was using is closed off with sturdy mesh or sheet metal. In Birkdale, these gaps are often at the ridge capping, at the eaves, beside a vent or where a pipe passes through the roof. Sealing is done from outside, usually from a ladder at the roofline.
We take your call, ask where the possum was getting in and give upfront pricing before booking a local team. The crew we book checks the gap and the area around it, then cuts and shapes the mesh or metal to suit the roofline. It is fastened firmly in place so it is hard to push or chew aside, and it is shaped to sit neatly against tiles, sheeting or fascia boards. You are welcome to watch or ask questions while the crew works.
The one way door always comes first, and sealing happens once the roof space is quiet. Some homes have more than one old entry point, such as a gap that was covered years ago and has come loose. The crew checks these too and reseals them where needed. Once the main entry point is sealed, other weak spots nearby are looked at as well.
