A one-way door is usually the first fitting step once the crew has found the main gap a possum is using to get into a Coorparoo roof. It sits directly over that entry point and allows movement through it in one direction only, which is why it goes on before any sealing work starts on that particular gap.
Fitting the door properly matters more than it might sound. The crew checks the shape and size of the gap first, since roof tiles, vents and eaves each need a slightly different fitting to sit flush against the roofline. A door that is loose or angled wrong will not do its job, so this step usually takes longer than people expect for what looks like a small piece of hardware.
Once the door has been in place for a stretch and the roof cavity is clear, a second visit removes it and seals the gap for good along with any other weak points nearby. Until then, the door stays in place and the rest of the roofline is left as is so the fitting is not disturbed. Most Coorparoo jobs need the door in place for a short stretch before the second visit is booked in, and the crew gives you a rough idea of when to expect that second call based on what the first visit finds.
