Entry Point Sealing in Gold Coast suits homes where the gaps are already found. Perhaps a possum was removed a while ago, an inspection flagged a couple of weak spots, or you can see a hole in the eaves from the backyard. Rather than a whole-house proofing job, the crew we book seals just those points and checks the nearby roofline for any similar gaps.
Gaps come in many shapes. Possums tend to use holes at the roof edge, lifted ridge caps and spaces behind gutters. Rats and mice can get through much smaller holes, often where plumbing, air conditioning lines and cables enter the walls or roof. Each gap is sealed with a material that suits the spot and the animal it needs to keep out.
- Mesh fitted over eave and roof-end gaps
- Flashing bent to shape where the fascia meets the tiles or sheets
- Mesh collars and filler around pipes and cables
- Loose ridge caps and tiles reseated
- Photos of each sealed point
Sealing should wait until any animal inside has left. If there is a chance something is still in the roof, the crew will check first, since sealing an animal in can cause a bad smell later and more damage as it tries to get out. They will tell you if a one-way door is needed before the gap is closed, and list that on its own line so you can see each part of the job.
It is also worth sealing gaps after storms, when wind can lift tiles and bend flashing. Entry point sealing is booked across Gold Coast, and you get upfront pricing on the phone. Call 07 3543 7769, tell us how many gaps you have seen and where they are, and we will book a local team.
