Possum proofing in Oxley is the sealing and covering work that goes on once a roof cavity has been checked and any active entry point has been dealt with. Rather than only closing the one gap a possum has been using, the crew looks at the whole roofline so the same problem does not turn up again through a different gap a few months later.
The usual check covers roof vents, ridge capping, gaps where tile and metal roofing meet, broken or lifted tiles, and any spot where an extension, carport or verandah roof joins the main house. Around Oxley, a lot of homes have had an extension added at some point, and the join between the old and new roofline is one of the more common spots for a gap to open up over time.
Proofing work is fitted around what your roof is actually built from. Metal sheeting, mesh and sealant are used depending on the size and shape of the gap, with the aim of a finish that holds up to weather rather than a quick patch. Gutters, downpipes and any nearby trees that give easy access onto the roof are also part of the conversation, since a well-sealed roof can still be reached again if a branch sits close to the tiles. Homes close to the creek or with older Queenslander-style roofs in Oxley sometimes need a slightly different approach again, since the roof pitch and the type of guttering can change where water and debris collect around the edges.
