Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Dust and grit settle on Glen Park roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains.

Dry offshore winds reach Glen Park through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roof coverings are least lapped to resist.
