Possums do not need much room. A brushtail can push through a surprisingly small gap, and it will work at a loose sheet of iron or a cracked tile until the gap gets bigger. Roof gap sealing focuses on the small openings around the roof that are easy to miss from the ground. Many homes in Windsor have decades of weather, repairs and extensions behind them, so there are often more gaps than people expect. Many of them only show up from inside the roof, where daylight comes through.
The crew we book checks the roof from outside and inside. They look along the ridge, around the edges of the tiles or iron, at the flashing where the roof meets a wall, and under the eaves. Each gap is closed with a material that suits the spot. This work might include:
- Refitting or re-bedding loose ridge caps
- Mesh behind gaps at the eaves and fascia
- New flashing or sealant where a roof meets a wall
- Closing gaps around pipes and cables that pass through the roof
- Replacing a few cracked or slipped tiles
Sealing gaps also helps with rats and mice, which use many of the same ways in. If the crew finds signs of rodents while they are up there, they will tell you and you can decide what to do next. They will also point out any spot that needs a roofer rather than a possum crew, such as badly rusted sheets.
