Plenty of older homes around Paddington sit up on timber or steel stumps with an open subfloor space underneath, and that gap can be just as attractive to a possum as a roof cavity, particularly during a cooler stretch of weather. The giveaway is usually noise from below the floorboards rather than above the ceiling, sometimes paired with scratching near a set of stairs or a laundry chute where the underfloor space is easiest to reach.
When you call about a subfloor job near Paddington, tell us where the house sits, whether it is fully open underneath or partly enclosed with lattice or sheeting, and where the noise is loudest. That helps the crew work out the likely entry point before they arrive, whether it is a gap in old lattice, a broken vent, or a spot where the ground has dropped away from the edge of the floor.
On site, the crew checks the perimeter of the subfloor for the opening being used, fits a one-way door there, and once the space is confirmed clear they seal it along with any other gaps in the lattice or skirting. Homes with stored items under the floor sometimes need those moved first so the crew can see the full perimeter.
