Possum Proofing in Gold Coast is about closing every gap a possum could squeeze through. A brushtail can fit through a hole not much bigger than a tennis ball, so a single lifted tile or a gap behind a gutter is enough. Proofing is usually done after the possum has left the roof, but it can also be booked on its own if you have spotted gaps and want them shut before anything moves in.
The crew we book walks the whole roofline and checks the ridge caps, valleys, eaves, fascia joins and the spots where pipes, cables and aerials pass through. On tiled roofs, broken or slipped tiles are common after summer storms. On metal roofs, the gaps tend to sit at the ends of the sheets and along the barge boards. Each gap is closed with the material that suits it.
- Galvanised mesh for eave gaps and roof ends
- Metal flashing where the fascia meets the roof
- Timber offcuts for larger holes in the eaves
- Mesh collars around pipes and cable entries
- Slipped or cracked tiles reseated where needed
The crew takes photos where the roof allows, so you can see each spot that was closed. Proofing works well when it covers the whole house, since a possum that finds one gap shut will often try the next weak point. If trees touch the roof, branch trimming can be added to the same visit, and vent mesh can be fitted while the ladders are up.
Before any sealing starts, the crew checks that nothing is still living in the roof. Closing a gap with a possum inside only leads to more noise and damage as it tries to get out. Proofing is booked across Gold Coast with upfront pricing given on the phone. Call 07 3543 7769 and tell us the roof type and roughly how big the house is, and we will book a local team to close it up.
