Realistically, sealant is the soonest casualty in Compton; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Realistically, attic ventilation on a Compton property is not optional — trapped thermal load cooks the covering from underneath. Realistically, thermal cycling does the damage in Compton — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Original decking on older Compton homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.

Put simply, walking a Compton tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Compton building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. It is the same story on most Compton streets. On most jobs, additions and conversions are common in Compton, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Attic temperatures in Compton drive shingle working life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation is what decides it more here than the brochure suggests.

A Compton property frequently carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Realistically, roof age across Compton clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. A maintenance record on a Compton roof covering also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. In practice, roofs in Compton bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
