Local knowledge
Coburg has a bit of every roof type in one street.
Weatherboards, interwar bungalows and brick veneer homes each need a different look.
Coburg has Victorian and Edwardian weatherboards, interwar bungalows and later brick veneer homes, often side by side. Some have terracotta or concrete tiles and some have iron, and many have been extended at the back.
A possum in a Coburg roof can be using a slipped tile, a gap at the eaves or the join where an extension meets the original house. We find the opening it is actually using before we close anything.
Weatherboards and interwar bungalows
Older Coburg homes often have timber eaves, deep verandahs and roofs that have been patched over the years. Timber can shrink and boards can lift, which leaves small gaps along the eave line that are hard to see from the street.
Tiled and iron roofs
A single slipped or cracked tile is enough for a possum to get in, and ageing mortar along the ridge can open up too. On iron roofs we check the flashing, the gutter line and anywhere the sheets meet a wall.
Merri Creek and Coburg Lake Reserve
Coburg has mature street trees and green space along Merri Creek and around Coburg Lake Reserve. Connected canopy brings possums close to homes, but the animal still needs a real opening into the building.
Brick veneer and later additions
Brick veneer homes and rear extensions sit alongside the older housing across Coburg. Where a newer roof meets an older one, the junction can leave a gap that only shows up on a proper inspection.
One loose tile is all it takes.
A Coburg roof can look fine from the footpath and still have one tile out of place or one gap at the eaves. We trace the route, use a humane one-way exit and complete the proofing once the possum is out.

Our team
We show up, we fix it, we stand behind it
That's been the approach since day one. Coburg locals appreciate the no-nonsense service.
Possum Specialist · Co-Owner
Mitch
A qualified sparky turned possum whisperer, happiest on the roof with no obvious way up.
Possum Specialist · Co-Owner
Dexter
Roof-plumbing background, so he seals a house the way you'd weatherproof your own. Off the tools it's the dogs, a bike, or a guitar.
Possum Specialist
Jarrah
Came off testing cranes and lifting gear, so heights and awkward access don't rattle him. Off the roof he's on the guitar, usually with Dex.
Possum Specialist
Sam
A cabinetmaker by trade, so he clocks the millimetre gap the rest of us walk past. Newest on the crew, already the fussiest about a clean seal.

Hear it from them
“Inspected the place with a fine tooth comb and blocked all entrance points after spending considerable time checking perimeter of the place. On time, real easy to work with and super efficient in addressing the problem. Couldn't recommend more highly.”

Yes. A slipped or cracked tile is one of the easiest ways into a roof. We check the whole accessible roofline, because the obvious gap is not always the one being used.
