Monkton Park sits alongside the River Avon, creating higher ambient moisture than any inland Chippenham street. Riverside properties see accelerated lead corrosion, faster moss growth on north-facing slopes, and more frequent valley blockages each autumn as tree canopy debris washes down.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces along Foghamshire and Bath Road — clay plain tile and Welsh slate dominant. Many properties retain original roof structures now 100–130 years old. Lime mortar is mandatory on all original masonry.
Lead valley and flashing failures on Victorian clay tile properties are the primary call. Original Victorian leadwork approaching or past design life. Secondary: ridge mortar deterioration and chimney repointing.
The river proximity means we specify code 5 lead on exposed riverside-facing elements — where code 4 would be appropriate inland. Annual gutter clearing is essential for properties under the Avon watermeadow tree canopy.

Like-for-like repointing doesn't require consent. On listed buildings in conservation areas, mortar specification must be appropriate — lime only. Listed building consent does not alter the technical requirement.
Lime on historic masonry: 30–60 years. Flexible ridge mortar: 15–25 years. Premature failure is almost always wrong specification or poor joint preparation.
