Possum proofing in Hendra usually comes after a possum has already been moved out, either straight after a removal job or on its own if you want to get ahead of a problem before it starts. Rather than sealing the one obvious gap, the crew works across the entire roofline checking for anything else that could open up over the coming months. This is one of the more commonly booked jobs across Hendra, since most callers want to avoid a repeat visit down the track.
That covers the ridge capping for lifted or cracked sections, every vent cover for rust or a loose fitting, and the eaves and fascia for timber that has separated or gone soft. Skylight and chimney flashing, where a house has either, gets checked with the same attention as the rest of the roof. Gutter brackets pulling away from the fascia are another spot worth a close look, since the gap left behind is often bigger than it appears from the ground.
Every gap found across Hendra gets sealed using material suited to that part of the roof, whether that means mesh over a vent, a re-bedded ridge cap or a timber repair along the fascia. Steeper roofs or homes with more than one storey can take a little longer to work through properly. The crew will also check any nearby trees for branches resting on the roofline, since these are worth trimming back as part of the same visit. Here is what a proofing visit generally covers:
- Full check of ridge capping, vents, eaves and fascia
- Gutter brackets and the gutter line checked as well
- Sealing matched to the material on each section of roof
- Notes on anything likely to need attention down the track
- A price given before any sealing work begins
