Hardenhuish is Chippenham's largest post-war estate, positioned 1 mile north of the town centre. Exposure is typical for north Chippenham. The defining factor is age: built almost entirely 1958–1978, the entire estate is at the nail sickness threshold simultaneously.
Near-uniform 1958–78 concrete interlocking tile throughout. The most concentrated nail sickness zone in north Wiltshire. Original fixing nails are 55–65 years old and corroded through on the majority of properties.
Nail sickness is the single dominant call from Hardenhuish — more re-roof enquiries originate here than from any other Chippenham area. Properties that have had tiles re-fixed repeatedly by different contractors are on a maintenance treadmill that only re-roofing resolves.

Moss growth rates vary across Chippenham's neighbourhoods depending on moisture exposure and tree cover. River-adjacent areas (Hartham, Monkton Park) see the fastest growth — 2-year cleaning cycles recommended. Central and elevated streets have moderate growth — 3–5 years. We use manual removal and soft-wash biocide on all Chippenham properties — no pressure washing, which damages protective coatings on concrete tile and can fracture aged clay tile.
A written inspection report is included with every cleaning visit — identifying any tiles, mortar or lead issues noted during the close-access cleaning work. Many repair recommendations originate from cleaning visits rather than specific surveys. Where the roof is approaching an age threshold, we note this clearly in the report.
