Possum roof proofing is about keeping the next possum out. In a suburb like Kallangur, with big old trees and plenty of bushland nearby, there is always another possum looking for a warm roof. If one gap is left open, it is only a matter of time before a new one finds it. Proofing closes the ways in across the whole roof, not just the one gap you have already found.
The crew we book starts with a full walk around the house and a look from the roof. They check ridge and hip capping, valleys, broken or slipped tiles, the gap between gutters and roof sheets, eave lining, gable and whirlybird vents, and every join where a carport, patio or extension meets the main roof. Pipes and cables running through the eaves are checked too.
Gaps are closed with galvanised mesh, metal flashing, foam and outdoor sealant, or fresh bedding under the ridge capping, depending on the spot. Whirlybirds and old vents are often better covered than sealed, so air can still move through the roof. The work is done neatly so it blends in from the street. If a section of roof is too damaged to seal and needs a roofer, the crew will tell you.

Proofing is often booked together with possum removal, but it can also be done on its own if the roof is empty now and you want to keep it that way. Call 07 3543 7773 to book possum roof proofing in Kallangur and get upfront pricing.
