Gutters and vents are easy ways into a roof. A possum can climb along a gutter and slip under the first tile, and rats can squeeze through wall vents or the base of a whirlybird. On homes near the bay in Deception Bay, salt air rusts old mesh and vent covers, so gaps that were once closed often open up again.
The crew we book checks every gutter run, wall vent, roof vent and whirlybird on the home. They look for gaps where the gutter meets the roof, broken vent covers, rusted mesh and loose whirlybird bases. Then they fit galvanised mesh guards that close the gaps but still let air and water move freely.

Air flow matters in the humid summers here, so the crew never blocks vents with solid covers. Mesh keeps animals out while letting the roof space breathe. The guards are fitted neatly and blend in when seen from the ground. Guards also stop leaves and nesting material being dragged into gaps along the roof edge.
Gutter and vent guards are often added to a proofing or removal job, but they can be booked on their own. They suit older brick and fibro homes as well as newer builds with tiled roofs. If you can see rusted vent covers or gaps along the gutter, call 07 3543 7768. Tell us roughly how many vents the home has. We will give you an upfront price and book a crew for your home in Deception Bay.
