Once a roof is empty, the next job is to close the gaps that let possums and rodents in. Roof entry sealing is often booked after a one-way door has done its work, but it can also be booked on its own if you have spotted gaps. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew that works on roofs around Ripley.
The crew checks the roof line from outside and the roof space from inside. Light showing through at the eaves, gaps under ridge capping, lifted tiles and holes around pipes are all marked up. They also look at the join between the main roof and any patio, carport or pergola, because these joins are a common way in. Colorbond roofs are checked at the ridge and along the gutters, where sheets can sit a little off the frame.
- Galvanised mesh over larger gaps and vents
- Metal flashing where roof sheets or tiles meet walls
- Sealant and mesh around pipe and cable entries
- Loose ridge capping and lifted tiles pointed out or reseated
- Photos of sealed spots where the crew can take them
Every material is chosen for the spot it goes in. Mesh is used where air needs to keep moving, such as vents and eaves, while flashing and sealant are used on solid joins. If there is any sign a possum is still inside, the crew holds off sealing that gap and fits a one-way door instead, so nothing is shut in the roof.
