Hardenhuish is the largest post-war estate in Chippenham and the most concentrated nail sickness zone in north Wiltshire. Built almost entirely 1958–1978 with concrete interlocking tile, the estate's fixing nails are now 55–65 years old and corroded through on the majority of properties. We carry out more nail sickness surveys here than anywhere else in our coverage. The assessment is almost always the same: systemic fixing failure across all slopes, full re-roof recommended.
