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.
"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."
RWB sits higher on the chalk ridge and is more directly exposed to south-westerlies than valley towns like Chippenham. Ridge and hip tile displacement after storms is measurably more frequent here — we recommend checking ridge and hip mortar every 3–4 years on exposed RWB properties.
