Birds can use many of the same gaps a possum does, particularly around broken vents, gaps under the eaves and old roof penetrations left from aerials or pipes no longer connected to anything. If you have noticed nesting material building up in the gutter or heard bird activity in the roof of your Northside home, proofing can close off the same spots.
The crew we book looks at the roofline from the ground first, checking eaves, vents and gutter lines for gaps or damage, then moves to a closer look where needed. Homes in Northside near parkland or a row of large trees tend to see more of this activity, since birds move between the trees and the roofline much the same way possums do.
Once the gaps are found, mesh or capping is fitted over vents and openings to stop birds getting back in, without blocking the airflow the roof needs. You get the price for this before anything starts. This means you get a proper look at the roof rather than a guess from the street, and a clear price before anything is booked in. Ask about pairing this with other work while the crew is already on site, since sorting more than one thing on the same visit can save a second trip out. You are welcome to ask as many questions as you like about what the visit will cover before deciding whether to go ahead.
