Hardenhuish is the nail sickness epicentre of the Chippenham portfolio. At 50–60 years of age, the concrete interlocking tile stock across this estate has largely reached the point where the original steel fixing nails have corroded through. The symptom is tiles that slide or rock when pressed — but the underlying problem is systemic across the roof, not limited to the tiles that have visibly shifted. Repair of individual tiles without addressing the fixing system is a short-term response.
We survey Hardenhuish roofs honestly and give a clear slope-by-slope assessment of nail sickness severity. Where only one or two slopes show significant movement, a partial re-nail or re-clip approach can extend service life cost-effectively. Where movement is system-wide, a full re-roof quotation is the honest recommendation. We never propose a full re-roof where a repair solution genuinely meets the situation.
"Had tiles sliding every winter for four years. Two roofers re-fixed them. These identified nail sickness immediately, gave honest assessment of each slope, and quoted a proper approach. South slope re-roofed, north has years left. Done properly at last."
"Nail sickness survey confirmed two slopes affected differently. Phased quote accepted. South slope done, north slope assessed for next year. Refreshingly honest about what was needed when."
"Chimney lead flashing cracking — leaking at the back bedroom ceiling. Reflashed in code 4, lime mortar on the original brick stack. Dry since. Done quickly and fairly."
Nail sickness is the corrosion of the original steel fixing nails in 1960s–70s concrete tile roofs. After 50–60 years, the nails corrode through, leaving tiles resting on the batten unsecured. If your Hardenhuish property has original concrete tiles and tiles have slid or shifted, nail sickness is highly probable. We offer free nail sickness surveys.
In some cases — where only one or two slopes show significant movement and others are sound, a partial re-clip approach can extend life cost-effectively. Where movement is system-wide, a full re-roof is the honest recommendation. We survey each slope individually and give clear findings.
Partial re-clip on one slope: £800–£1,800. Full re-roof three-bed semi: £5,500–£8,000 in concrete tile, £7,000–£9,500 in clay. Free survey and written quote — call 01249 247 076.
