The line where the roof meets the gutter and fascia is one of the easiest ways into a roof. Over the years, timber fascia boards shrink and warp, gutters pull away and eave linings sag or crack. That can open a gap all the way along the edge of the roof. On post-war homes in Wavell Heights, with their long runs of fascia and older eave linings, it is one of the most common entry points.
The crew we book walks the full perimeter of the house and checks the eaves from a ladder. They look for gaps between the roof and fascia, loose eave sheets, holes left from old cables or lights, and dark rub marks that show where a possum has been going in and out. Sections near trees get a closer look, since that is where a possum usually lands. Corners where two runs of fascia meet are another weak spot worth checking.
Gaps are sealed with galvanised mesh, metal strips or sealant depending on the size and shape. Loose eave linings are screwed back into place. If the fascia is rotten, the crew will point it out and talk through the options before starting.
