Ridge capping runs along the top of the roof and is one of the most common spots for a possum to find a way into the cavity, especially once the mortar or screws holding it down have started to move. Call 07 3543 7769 to book a check in Runcorn, and a local crew will look along the whole ridge line rather than just the one spot that looks obviously loose.
Lifted or cracked ridge capping is reset and resealed, closing off the gap without needing to touch the rest of the roof. Where the capping has moved because of a wider issue, such as roofing screws working loose over time, the crew talks you through what else might need attention nearby, including roof vents and pipe penetrations that often loosen for the same reason.
If the ridge capping is the entry point a possum has been using, the same one-way door and return visit process applies before the capping is sealed. In Runcorn, older tiled roofs tend to need this kind of work more often than newer metal roofs, since mortar bedding under tiled capping breaks down with age in a way that screw-fixed metal capping generally does not.
