Eaves and vents are some of the easiest ways into a roof, especially on older homes in Redland where eave linings have sagged or vent covers have cracked. Open eaves on Queenslanders and highset homes can also leave the roof space open along one whole side of the house. Eave and vent mesh closes these openings while still letting the roof breathe.
The crew we book checks each eave section, wall vent, whirlybird base and pipe penetration around the house. Where there is a gap, they fit a mesh cover cut to size and fastened in place, so air still moves through but animals cannot. On homes with open eaves, they can mesh the gap between the wall plate and the roof sheeting along the length of the wall.
- Checks of eave linings for sagging, holes and loose edges
- Mesh covers fitted over wall and roof vents
- Gaps around pipes, cables and whirlybirds sealed
- Open eaves meshed along the wall line where needed
- A price for each section before any work starts
Meshing vents is also useful if you have had rats or mice in the roof, since they use many of the same gaps as possums. It is often done as part of full possum proofing, but you can book it on its own if you only have a problem on one side of the house.
You will get an upfront price when you call, and the crew confirms the number of vents and eave sections on the day before they start. If you would like eave and vent mesh fitted at your home in Redland, call 07 3543 7769 and describe the areas you are worried about.
