Most possum problems on the Gold Coast come down to one thing, a gap. It might be a lifted ridge cap, a broken tile, a gap where the gutter sits under the tiles or the join where a newer roof section meets the old one. Roof gap sealing closes these openings so animals cannot get in.
The crew we book checks the roof from inside and out. In the roof space they look for light coming through. Outside, they check each section of the roof line and look closely at valleys, gable ends, vents and the edges of skylights and solar panel rails. If a gap is really a sign of rotten timber or a rusted-through roof sheet, they tell you so you can call a roofer or carpenter first.
- Broken or loose tiles reset or packed
- Ridge and hip caps re-bedded where gaps have opened
- Gutter line gaps closed with mesh or foam strip
- Gable vents and whirlybird bases checked and secured
- Roof joins and patio connections covered with flashing
Materials are chosen to suit the roof and the coastal weather. Galvanised mesh, colour-matched flashing and outdoor sealant hold up better in salt air than plain steel or soft foam. The crew keeps the work tidy and in line with the roof, so it looks like part of the house.
Gap sealing can be booked on its own or as part of a possum removal. It is worth checking the roof after big summer storms, as wind and heavy rain can shift tiles and open up new gaps. Tell us about the roof type and when it was last checked, and we will give you upfront pricing for your home on the Gold Coast. Call 07 3543 7767 to book.
