A possum can get through a gap not much bigger than a tennis ball, and it can widen a smaller one by pushing and chewing. Entry point sealing targets those small openings around a Brighton home that are easy to miss from the ground. It is usually done during a removal job, but you can book it on its own.
The crew we book looks at every point where the roof meets another material or where something passes through it. On older timber homes that means lifted iron sheet edges, gaps where the verandah roof meets the house and holes where old vents have rusted out. On brick homes it means loose ridge caps, open valley ends and gaps at the fascia. On all homes, pipes, air-conditioning lines and TV cables often leave a hole that was never sealed properly.
- Lifted sheet edges screwed down and sealed
- Verandah and extension joins closed with flashing
- Ridge cap ends and valley gaps blocked
- Holes around pipes, ducts and cables covered
- Soft or rotted timber pointed out for you to plan work on
Entry point sealing works hand in hand with the one-way possum door. The crew seals every gap except the main one, fits the door there, and closes that final gap once the possum has gone out and stayed out. If the roof is empty, everything can be sealed in one visit.
If you can see a gap along your roof from the yard or you have had possums before, this is worth booking. Call 07 3543 7768 for entry point sealing anywhere in Brighton or nearby, and we will give you upfront pricing on the phone.
