How much is possum removal in Geelong?
Reviewed by the Possum Protect VIC team, updated September 2026
Possum removal in Geelong starts from $270 including GST. That covers a one way door on the main entry, the smaller gaps closed on the first visit, and a return visit to take the door off and seal the last opening. We usually recommend removal with roof repairs, from $429, because the hole the possum used is still there once it leaves.
If you are not sure what the roof needs, an inspection with a written plan is free, $0, with no obligation. The quote itself is free.
A few roof types are always priced in writing first, because access and materials vary: two storey homes, steel deck, slate and weatherboard. Geelong has every one of them, and a Federation home in Newtown can be a short drive from a brand new Armstrong Creek build.
Prices current September 2026 and published for all three regions we cover.

What changes the possum removal cost Geelong homes pay
Four things account for nearly every difference between a starting price and a final quote.
Number of openings
One entry at a ridge cap is quick. A cottage roof with gaps at every gable and along open eaves takes longer and more material.
Height and access
Single storey homes are the base price. Two storey, steep pitches and tight side paths are priced in writing first.
Roof material
Terracotta and concrete tile repairs are routine. Slate, steel deck and old weatherboards need different materials and are quoted before booking.
Timber condition
If fascia or barge boards are soft, we replace the section. Decay that goes into rafters is quoted separately and only done with your approval.

Free possum inspection and what you get from it
An inspection is free, $0. For that we check the roof cavity where it is safe to enter, walk the roofline, identify the species, photograph every opening and give you a written plan with a price. There is no charge and no obligation to book.
You do not always need it, because we can often price a job from a phone call and photos. It is most useful for older Geelong West and Newtown homes, where one visible gap usually has two or three less obvious ones behind it, and for holiday houses on the Bellarine where no one has been in the roof for a long time.
Is a cheaper possum removal price in Geelong worth it?
A low price usually means something is missing. The common ones: the possum is removed but the hole is left open, the repair is foam or tape rather than timber and mesh, or the return visit is charged as extra. Any of those can mean paying twice.
Doing it yourself costs less up front, but councils around Geelong will not help much: the Surf Coast Shire does not lend or hire possum traps, and Greater Geelong refers possum enquiries to the state department. Hiring a cage makes you responsible for the legal duties, including release on your property within 50 metres after sunset, and you still have a hole in the roof.
