"UPVC gutter replacement — original 1967 UPVC had failed throughout. Done in a day."
"Chimney flaunching replaced, ridge repointed at chimney junction. Half day from scaffold."
"Roof cleaning before re-roof survey. Tiles confirmed nail-sick beneath moss. Survey findings correct."
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.
Chimney reflash: £350–£700. Valley reline: £80–£150/m. Parapet gutter: £120–£200/m. Free written quote — call 01249 247 076.
Code 3 for soakers, code 4 for general valleys and flashings, code 5 for flat roofs and wide spans. Code 4 as standard on all valley and flashing work.
Code 4 correctly installed: 50–80 years. Under-specified or over-tacked lead fails much sooner. Correct specification and fixing method both matter.
Small failures can sometimes be repaired. Where a flashing is 20+ years old with multiple failure points, replacement is almost always better value.
Thermal cycling causes lead to work against incorrect fixings over decades. Correct installation allows thermal movement — this is the key difference between a lasting installation and a failing one.
Yes — applied on completion of all new lead to slow weathering and prevent staining on masonry below.
