Sheldon occupies Chippenham's eastern fringe with mild exposure. The M4 proximity brought development in multiple phases, creating a mixed age profile where maintenance needs vary significantly property by property.
Post-war and 1960s properties have concrete tile at the nail sickness threshold. 1980s properties have flat roof extensions now 35–45 years old. 1990s stock is entering the first maintenance cycle.
Three parallel maintenance categories: nail sickness on the oldest stock, felt flat roof failures on 1980s extensions, and fascia deterioration on 1960s timber boards. Often multiple categories present on the same property.
Sheldon's mixed build phases mean we arrive at every survey with a broader range of materials than single-era areas — clay tile, concrete profiles, GRP materials and UPVC fascia stock. Pre-sale surveys are particularly popular here.
Chimney work across Chippenham's neighbourhoods requires correct mortar specification above everything else. Victorian and Edwardian properties need NHL hydraulic lime — never OPC cement on soft historic brick. Post-war and modern properties use flexible polymer-modified mortar. Using the wrong mortar causes more long-term damage than no repointing at all.
We include a full stack, pot and flaunching inspection during every chimney visit — many additional issues are identified from scaffold that aren't visible from ground level. Lead reflashing uses code 4 as minimum for all step, soaker and apron work, with code 5 specified on wide stacks and exposed positions. Patination oil applied to all new lead on completion.
Full repoint: £300–£600. Lead reflash: £350–£700. Flaunching: £200–£400. Full package: £700–£1,200. All include scaffold. Free written quote — call 01249 247 076.
