Hartham sits alongside the River Avon between Chippenham town centre and the rural south. The riverside location creates the highest moisture exposure in the Chippenham area — lead corrosion is measurably faster here, and moss growth on north-facing slopes is the most aggressive in our coverage.
Victorian and Edwardian properties near the river with post-war housing further inland. The riverside Victorian stock has some of the most demanding maintenance profiles in Chippenham due to the combination of age and moisture exposure.
Lead valley and flashing failures accelerated by river moisture are the primary call — we specify code 5 lead on exposed riverside elements as standard. Aggressive moss on north-facing slopes is the secondary maintenance category.
The River Avon creates conditions at Hartham that require specification adjustments compared to inland Chippenham properties. Code 5 lead, 2-year moss cleaning cycles, and annual gutter clearing are standard recommendations here.
Fascia and soffit replacement across Chippenham's neighbourhoods is driven by housing era. Original timber fascia on 1960s–70s properties is now 55–65 years old and almost universally rotten despite repeated painting. 1990s–2000s UPVC fascia is 25–35 years old and beginning its first replacement cycle on some properties.
UPVC replacement is our standard recommendation on most Chippenham properties — no maintenance, 25-year product guarantee, available in profiles that match original dimensions. Guttering replacement is included in fascia jobs as standard — scaffold is already in position and gutters come off to access the fascia anyway. We assess fascia condition on every guttering visit.
Three-bed semi full UPVC: £800–£1,500. Detached: £1,200–£2,200. Individual boards: £150–£400. Free written quote — call 01249 247 076.

01249 247 076Hartham is a riverside area north of Chippenham with a mix of older stone and brick property and Hartham Park's period estate, close to the Avon watermeadows. On this kind of stock, the problems we see most in Hartham are heavy moss on the shaded riverside roofs, blocked valleys from the mature tree cover, and leadwork on the older period stock. Hartham sits right on the Avon, so humidity is high, moss growth fast and drying slow, especially on the riverside slopes.
We check fascia, soffit and bargeboard condition — genuinely, not through the paint — and the eaves ventilation.
Sound timber can be capped; rotten timber is replaced. We won't cap over rot.
A fixed price with fascia, soffit, guttering and access itemised.
New uPVC fitted with ventilated soffit strips or over-fascia vents to keep the loft dry.
Gutters come off to access the fascia anyway, so we renew them at the same time.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Fascia section replacement | half day |
| Full roofline (three-bed semi) | 1–2 days |
| Detached full roofline | 2–3 days |
| Bargeboard replacement (per gable) | half day |
| Capping over sound timber | 1 day |
Roofline work runs year-round; uPVC installation isn't weather-critical, though we won't work the eaves in high wind.
Hartham's riverside and estate properties vary from tight period plots to open grounds; period and stone stock often needs matching materials. Scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council, and on the lanes toward Hartham Park we allow extra time for setup. Access is always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra.
Workmanship carries our 10-year guarantee; uPVC fascia and soffit carry a 25-year manufacturer product guarantee — no painting, no maintenance.
