Camberwell Junction
Where Burke, Riversdale and Camberwell roads meet. The flats and units above shops that we visit are often a short walk from here.
Camberwell has everything from 1920s bungalows to flats above the Junction shops, and dead animals turn up in all of them. The smell is usually the first clue, and it rarely fades on its own.
We locate the animal, remove it, disinfect the area, treat the odour and seal the way in. Fill in the form and we'll be in touch, usually the same day.
We deal with the carcass, the mess it leaves behind and the gap it came through. Getting all three right is what stops the problem coming back.
Here's what we handle across Camberwell, from the interwar streets near Riversdale station to the flats around Burke Road.
Dead Possum RemovalBrushtail possums often move into Camberwell bungalow roofs through the eaves or a gap by the chimney. If one dies up there, we bag it, clean the ceiling space and block the entry.View details →
Dead Rat RemovalRats coming in from rear lanes and sheds often end up dead inside a wall or under the floor. We narrow the smell down to the right spot and remove the rat with as little disturbance as possible.View details →
Dead Bird RemovalBirds nest in gable vents and chimneys on the older homes here. We remove dead birds and old nesting, clean the area and fit a screen over the opening.View details →
Dead Animal in Roof and Wall RemovalIn flats with shared roof voids, or bungalows with tight cavities, finding the carcass takes some work. We trace the source first, then open the smallest area needed to get it out.View details →
Dead Animal Odour RemovalThe smell of a dead animal can stay in insulation and timber long after removal. We treat the area so the odour doesn't hang around in bedrooms or living spaces.View details →
Tell us where the smell is strongest. We inspect the roof space, walls and subfloor, find the animal and take it from there.
Walk-up flats near the Junction often share one roof space, so a carcass may be above a neighbour's unit, not yours.
How we help: We work out which section the smell is coming from and can explain what we need so you can arrange access with neighbours or the owners corporation.
Some Californian bungalows have shallow roof spaces near the eaves, which is exactly where possums like to sit.
How we help: We use reach tools and work from the manhole where we can, so tiles stay on the roof.
Homes on or near Burke Road, Camberwell Road and Riversdale Road can be tricky for parking and getting gear in.
How we help: We plan access before we arrive and use rear lanes or side gates where that's easier.

Our team can help if your question is not answered here.
That depends on the location of the animal and how easy it is to reach. A possum near the manhole of a bungalow is simpler than a rat inside the wall of a flat. We quote before we start.
Mainly dead possums, rats and birds from roofs, walls, chimneys and subfloors. We also remove other small animals that end up in hard-to-reach places.
It varies between policies, so it's worth checking yours. We can give you a written description of the work if your insurer asks for one.
Usually the same day. Urgent jobs are handled 24/7.
Yes. We find which part of the roof the smell is coming from and tell you what access we need. Once that's sorted, we remove the animal, clean the space and seal the entry point.
