"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.

Stanley is a Chippenham district of predominantly 1958–78 concrete-interlocking-tile housing on the eastern side of town. On this kind of stock, the problems we see most in Stanley are widespread nail sickness across the 1958–78 concrete-tile roofs, dropped ridge and verge mortar, and failed felt underlay.

We assess the stack, pots, flaunching and flashing from scaffold or tower — not from the ground.
We identify which of the three common failure points is letting water in — often more than one.
A fixed price with repointing, flaunching, flashing and cowls itemised separately.
Failed elements renewed — lime mortar on period stacks, flexible mortar on post-war.
The stack is left weathertight, with patination oil on any new lead, and guaranteed.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Flashing renewal | half to full day |
| New flaunching | half day |
| Full stack repoint | 1–2 days |
| Cowl supply & fit | 1–2 hours |
| Chimney rebuild (above roofline) | 2–4 days |
Lime mortar on period stacks needs frost-free conditions to cure, so deep-winter repointing is weather-scheduled.
Stanley is post-war estate housing with generous driveway and side access, ideal for scaffold and skip placement. Scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council, and on the estate roads off the Calne road we allow extra time for setup. Access is always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra.
Workmanship carries our 10-year guarantee; new lead and pots carry manufacturer warranties, and lime repointing on period stacks is done to conservation standard.
