Quick answer

Possum work Melbourne roofs get: what does a finished job look like?

Reviewed by the Safe Possum Control team, updated September 2026

Finished possum work is mostly hard to spot from the ground. Galvanised mesh sits tight under tiles and along gutters, gaps at the eaves are closed with sheet metal, and nothing is left that a possum can chew or lever open.

While the possum is still living inside, one entry carries a one-way door. That door comes off on our return visit and the last gap is sealed the same way as the rest.

The photos and clips on this page show each of those stages on Melbourne tile, iron and Colorbond roofs.

What to look for

Signs of good one-way possum door installation

Whoever does your job, these are the details that tell you it was done properly.

1

Metal, not foam

Gaps closed with galvanised mesh or sheet metal. Expanding foam and timber offcuts do not stop a possum.

2

Every gap, not one

Photos of several sealed entries, not only the one the possum was using.

3

The door comes off

A return visit removes the one-way door and closes that last gap.

4

Neat and tight

Mesh fixed firmly with no loose edges a possum can grip and pull.

5

A record for you

Before and after photos of each entry, so you can see what was done up on the roof.

Are these photos from your own jobs?

Yes. Every photo and video on this page was taken on our own possum jobs in Melbourne. There are no stock images.

What is one-way possum door installation?

One-way possum door installation fits an exit over the entry a possum uses, so it can leave to feed and cannot get back in. The door is removed once the possum has gone.

Why are the doors different shapes?

Each is built for the entry. Tile gaps suit a flap, gutters suit a chute and eaves often need a wire exit cage.

What is the mesh in the possum proofing photos?

Galvanised steel mesh. It resists rust and a possum cannot chew through it, so it lasts for years on a roof.

Will I get photos of my own job?

Yes. Every job includes before and after photos of each entry, sent to you by WhatsApp or email.

Can proofing be matched to my roof colour?

Where it shows, we choose materials and fixings that sit neatly on the roof. Most of the mesh ends up hidden under tiles or gutters.

Do you work on iron and Colorbond roofs?

Yes. Several of the videos show iron roofs, where sealing runs along the gutter and roof edge.

Why do the possum removal videos not show possums?

The possum leaves at night through the one-way door, so the work you see is the sealing and fitting done in daylight.

How much does work like this cost?

Jobs start from $350 including GST. Standard homes are from $350 up to $550 and complex roofs from $550 up to $850.

How long is the guarantee on this work?

Each entry point we seal carries a 36-month guarantee. If a possum gets back in through one, we fix it at no charge.
