Slipped tiles, leaks and storm damage are the most common roof repair calls in Royal Wootton Bassett. Royal Wootton Bassett has a historic High Street core but is dominated by extensive post-war and modern estates built as the town expanded north of the M4. On this kind of stock, the common problems are nail sickness and dry-verge failure on the concrete-tile estates, wind-lifted tiles, and early uPVC roofline failing on the 1990s stock — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Royal Wootton Bassett's elevated chalk ridge position makes it more storm-exposed than Chippenham despite being only 8 miles away. Ridge and hip mortar failures that present as minor issues in Chippenham are more advanced in RWB under the same storm conditions. We carry the most common ridge profiles for RWB's housing stock on every visit — same-day sourcing is essential when the weather that caused the damage is still moving.
The Victorian and Edwardian High Street properties require period-appropriate repair — matching clay tile, lime mortar, code 4 lead on all chimney and valley work. The 1990s–2000s development estates are now entering the age where flat roof extensions, ridge mortar and some original guttering systems need their first substantive attention. We assess and quote for both profiles correctly.
We attend, identify the root cause — not just the symptom — and tell you honestly whether a repair resolves it.
A fixed price for the repair before any work starts. No call-out fee during business hours.
We carry common Chippenham tile profiles and code 4 lead, so most repairs are booked within a few days.
The repair is completed, usually in a single visit, and the area left clean.
We confirm the fix, flag anything else developing, and guarantee the repaired section.

"Victorian chimney — two stacks, both leaking at the base. Scaffolded up, lead stripped and re-dressed, lime mortar throughout. Both chimneys watertight. Done without fuss, priced fairly."
"Storm ridge tiles — three displaced in a January storm. Emergency call answered fast, on-site by 10:30am. Tiles sourced from Chippenham, replaced and repointed same day."
"Mid-90s felt flat roof on extension — leaking since we bought the house. GRP replacement done in a day. Dry for two winters now. Worth every penny."
