Eaves and vents are some of the easiest ways into a roof. Older eave linings can sag or split, and vents under the eaves or on gable ends often have thin covers that a possum can push past or a rat can chew through. Once inside the eaves, an animal can climb straight into the roof space. Eave and vent screening in Springwood closes these openings with mesh that lets air through but keeps animals out.
The crew we book checks the eave line all the way around the house, looking for gaps, loose sheets and spots where the lining has pulled away from the wall. They also check wall vents, roof vents and roof ventilator bases. Each opening is then covered with galvanised mesh cut to size and fastened firmly in place.
- Gaps where eave linings have pulled away
- Split or sagging eave sheets
- Wall and gable vents with thin covers
- The base of roof ventilators and vents
- Gaps around pipes and cables near the eaves
Screening keeps the roof space ventilated, which matters in a humid climate where roofs can get very hot. The mesh is small enough to stop rats and mice as well as possums, so it also helps if you have had rodents in the past. Where a vent cover is cracked, the crew can screen behind it so it still looks the same from outside.
Many brick homes in Springwood have a mix of old eave linings and newer vents added over the years. The crew will match the mesh to each vent so the work looks neat. To book eave and vent screening, call 07 3543 7768 and we will give you an upfront price.
