About Roofing Bromley: The Work Under the Shingles

Why the Small Stuff Gets Our Attention

Most of the leaks we see are not from worn-out shingles. They come from details. A step flashing piece that was never tucked behind the siding. Nails driven crooked or too high, so the shingle tabs lift in the first strong wind. Drip edge laid wrong at the eaves, so water runs behind it. None of this shows from the ground, and all of it lets water in years before the shingles wear out.

So that is how we work. We take our time on the parts nobody sees once the job is done. We check the decking before new underlayment goes down and point out soft boards instead of covering them. At the roof's lower edge and down every valley, we lay a self-sealing membrane first, since those are the spots where melting snow pools and refreezes. We bend and fit flashing at walls and chimneys rather than leaning on caulk.

We keep the talk simple too. Before any work, we walk your roof, take photos of what we find and explain it in everyday words. When patching the problem will last, that is what we recommend. When the roof has worn past that point, we show you the reasons with the photos in hand. You get a written estimate with each line spelled out, so you know what you are paying for.
