Possums can fit through a gap about the size of a tennis ball, so small openings matter. Roof entry sealing focuses on the tight spots around a kippa Ring roof that a possum can push, chew or lift its way through. It is often done with a possum removal job, but it can also be booked on its own.
The crew we book looks closely at the places where the roof meets another material. Common trouble spots on the peninsula include the gap between the fascia board and the roof sheet, the open ends of ridge caps, spots where a pergola or patio roof has been added, and the holes around plumbing vents, air-conditioning pipes and TV cables. Each gap is sealed with mesh, flashing, foam backing or a fitted cover, depending on the size and where it is.
- Fascia and gutter line gaps closed with mesh or flashing
- Open ridge cap ends blocked off
- Joins between old roofs and extensions sealed
- Pipe, duct and cable openings covered
- Soft or rotted edges pointed out so you can plan work on them
Sealing works in with the one-way door. The crew closes every gap except the main one, fits the door there, and then seals that final gap once the possum has left the roof. If there is no possum inside, all gaps can be sealed on the first visit.
If your roof has been noisy before, or you can see gaps along the edge from the ground, roof entry sealing is a sensible step. Call 07 3543 7771 to book a crew anywhere in kippa Ring or nearby, and we will give you upfront pricing on the phone.
