Not every gap a possum uses is on the roofline. Sometimes it is a gap around a manhole cover, a downlight fitting or a vent inside the ceiling itself, giving it a way from the roof cavity into other parts of the roof space. Ceiling entry sealing in Stafford deals with these smaller gaps once the cavity has been cleared and the main roofline entry point has been sealed by the crew.
The crew we book checks manhole covers for a snug fit, looks at downlight and vent fittings for gaps around the edges, and seals anything that could let air, dust or pests move between the cavity and the rooms below. This is usually a shorter job than the roofline work, done as part of the same visit where it makes sense, rather than as a separate call-out.
Older homes around Stafford with original ceiling fittings, particularly houses built before the 1980s, tend to need more of this work than newer builds, since fittings installed decades ago were not always sealed as closely as current ones, and gaps can open up further as a house settles over the years.
This kind of sealing is a smaller job on its own, but it rounds out the roofline and proofing work so gaps at the ceiling level are not left as the last unchecked spot in the house.
- Manhole cover fit checked and adjusted so it sits flush
