The roof is the most common place for a possum to set up home. The space between the tiles or sheeting and the ceiling is dry, dark and warm, and it sits just a jump away from the gums and palms that line so many streets in Caloundra. You might hear it on the roof sheeting first, then above the ceiling as it settles into the nest. Once a possum finds a way in, it will come back every night until the route is closed.
We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew who works roofs across the area. The crew we book checks both the outside of the roof and the roof space. On tiled roofs, they look for cracked or shifted tiles, loose ridge capping and gaps where the tiles meet the gutter. On metal roofs, they check the fascia, the gaps under the sheeting at the eaves, and the flashing around skylights, vents and solar mounts.
A roof possum removal job usually involves:
- Finding the nest and the main path in and out
- Getting the possum out of the roof space
- Closing tile gaps, ridge gaps and eave gaps with metal or mesh
- Refixing loose tiles or capping that let the possum in
- Checking the roof again for any second route
Some homes have more than one possum, or a mother with young, and that can mean a second visit. Older roofs may need a few tiles swapped or bedding touched up so the gaps stay closed. The crew will explain the plan before they start and talk you through what they did before they leave.
