A possum moving into the roof is one of the most common reasons people in Shailer Park end up calling us, usually once the scratching or thumping after dark becomes hard to ignore. Some people ring on the first night they hear it, others wait a few weeks to see if it stops on its own, which it rarely does once a possum has settled into a roof cavity. Either way, the booking starts with a phone call rather than a visit turning up unannounced.
On the call we ask what you are hearing, roughly when it happens and whereabouts in the house it seems loudest, which helps the crew we book plan the visit properly. A local team then comes out to Shailer Park and checks the roofline from the outside first: the eaves, the fascia, the gable ends and any gaps where an extension or a garage roof meets the main house.
Once the entry point is confirmed, a one-way door is fitted over it, allowing the roof cavity to clear while the same gap cannot be used to get back in. The smaller gaps found nearby get sealed at the same visit, and if the roof needs a wider proofing pass beyond that one spot, it can be quoted and booked separately.
