Many homes in kippa Ring have concrete or terracotta tile roofs, and after a few decades of summer storms some tiles crack, slip or sit loose. A possum only needs one loose tile to push its way into the roof. Broken roof tile replacement fixes those weak spots as part of possum proofing.
The crew we book checks the roof for cracked tiles, tiles that have slid out of line and tiles that rock when pressed. They also look at the ridge caps along the crest and the valleys where two roof slopes meet, since these are the spots where tiles are most likely to shift. Damaged tiles are taken out and replaced with matching tiles where they can be sourced, and loose bedding around the caps is patched so the tiles sit firm.
- Cracked and slipped tiles found by a roof walk or ladder check
- Broken tiles swapped for matching or close-match tiles
- Loose ridge caps and bedding patched
- Tiles near valleys and edges checked for gaps
- Any leaks or water marks you should look at pointed out
Tile replacement is usually done alongside a one-way door and other sealing, so the possum leaves the roof and cannot lift another tile to get back in. The crew brings a range of common tile profiles used on the peninsula, but older or unusual tiles may need a second trip once a match is found.
If you can see a tile out of place from the yard, or you have had a possum in a tiled roof before, this is worth doing. Call 07 3543 7771 to book broken roof tile replacement in kippa Ring or nearby, and we will give you upfront pricing and a booking time.
