Once a possum has left a roof cavity through a one-way door, the next step is closing that opening for good, along with any other gaps around the ceiling line that could give the same access. Around Paddington, this usually means working across the roofline from outside rather than inside the house, since most entry points sit at the join between the roof and the walls or around fittings like vents and downpipes.
The crew we book checks the confirmed opening first, waits until it is clear, then seals it with material suited to the spot, whether that is a gap under a ridge cap, a broken section of barge board, or a join where two roof planes meet. From there, the crew looks along the rest of the ceiling line for smaller gaps that have not been used yet but could be in the future, since a possum only needs a small opening to squeeze through.
Homes around Paddington with older roofing, timber fascia or gaps around evaporative cooling ducts tend to need a bit more sealing work than newer builds. The crew talks you through what was found and sealed once the visit is done, so you can see exactly what has been closed off.
