Every roof has weak spots, and possums, rats and mice are good at finding them. Entry point sealing closes those spots once the roof is empty. It is usually booked after a one-way door has done its work, but you can also book it on its own if you have noticed gaps. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew that works across Flagstone.
The crew checks the roof from both sides. Outside, they look along the eaves, gutters, ridge and gable ends. Inside the roof void, they look for daylight, droppings and chewed timber. Gaps around air-conditioning lines, solar cables, plumbing vents and roof joins are among the most common in newer homes. On older acreage homes, lifted roof sheets and gaps under the ridge turn up more often.
- Galvanised mesh over vents and larger openings
- Metal flashing on joins between roofs and walls
- Sealant and steel mesh around pipes and cables
- Lifted tiles and ridge gaps pointed out or reseated
- Photos of the sealed spots where access allows
Each gap gets the material that suits it. Mesh goes where air has to keep moving, and flashing or sealant goes on solid joins. If there is any sign that a possum is still living in the roof, that gap is left open and fitted with a one-way door, so nothing is shut inside. The rest can be sealed on the same visit.
