Roof vents are there to let heat escape, but many of them leave an easy way in for possums and rodents. Gable vents with loose slats, eave vents with torn mesh and gaps at the base of whirlybirds are all common entry points in homes around Flagstone. Newer homes in estates often have vents that were fitted without any mesh at all. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew to screen them.
The crew checks each vent from outside and from the roof void. Small vents may only need a patch of mesh, while larger ones get a cover cut to size and screwed in place. Whirlybird bases are checked for lifted flashing, and exhaust fan outlets are checked for gaps where they pass through the roof or eaves. Tiled and Colorbond roofs are both covered.
- Galvanised mesh covers for gable vents
- Eave and soffit vents patched or re-meshed
- Whirlybird bases resealed
- Exhaust fan and plumbing outlets covered
- Air-conditioning line gaps closed
Screening vents is one of the simplest ways to make a roof harder to get into, and it can be done in a single visit on most homes. The mesh is chosen so airflow is not choked, which matters when roof voids heat up in summer. If a vent is where a possum is getting in right now, the crew fits a one-way door there first and screens it later.
