Stanley sits on the northern edge of Chippenham with moderate exposure. The defining characteristic is not climate but age: the entire estate was built in a single phase, meaning every property's roof is at the same maintenance stage simultaneously.
Large post-war estate built primarily 1958–1978 with concrete interlocking tile throughout. The most concentrated nail sickness zone in our coverage — original mild steel fixing nails are now 55–65 years old and corroded through on most properties.
Nail sickness presenting as regular tile displacement across all slopes is the defining call from Stanley. Individual tile re-fixing is a temporary measure that doesn't resolve the systemic nail failure — only re-roofing does.
We carry out more nail sickness surveys on Stanley than any other Chippenham area. The assessment is almost always the same: systemic fixing failure, full or phased re-roof recommended. We quote both options side by side.
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.
