Roofs move. Heat, storms and age shift tiles, crack ridge mortar and lift metal sheeting, and each small movement can open a gap. You cannot always see them from the ground, which is why a close look matters. In Logan, many homes built in the 1970s and 1980s now have several of these gaps, and a possum only needs one of them to get into the roof space.
Roof gap sealing covers the body of the roof, away from the gutters and fascia. The crew we book checks the ridge line, the valleys where two roof slopes meet, the joins between different roof sections and the edges where the roof meets a higher wall. Loose screws on metal roofs are checked too. Each gap is noted, and the ones a possum is using are dealt with first.
- Cracked or missing ridge mortar
- Shifted, cracked or broken tiles
- Lifted metal sheeting and loose screws
- Gaps in valleys and roof joins
- Edges where the roof meets a higher wall
On tiled roofs, the fix often involves re-seating a tile and closing the gap underneath with mesh. On metal roofs, the crew may fit sheeting or mesh under the ridge or along a join. Where the mortar under the ridge has broken down badly, the crew will point it out so you can have it rebedded by a roofer if needed. The work is kept neat so the roof still looks tidy from the street.
The crew checks the roof space is clear of possums before sealing the final gap, so nothing is shut inside. We give you upfront pricing on the phone before the visit. For roof gap sealing in Logan, call 07 3543 7767 and we will book a nearby independent crew.
