We are 1 mile from Hardenhuish — 3 minutes. We carry out more nail sickness surveys here than anywhere else. The recommendation is almost always a full or phased re-roof, quoted slope-by-slope with both options presented side by side.
Full re-roofs in Chippenham's neighbourhoods require specification that matches the specific property era. Post-war and 1960s–80s estate housing uses concrete interlocking tile — we specify new BS5534-compliant underlay and treated battens throughout, replacing the original felt and battens as part of every re-roof regardless of visible condition. Victorian and conservation-edge properties require clay plain tile and lime mortar where relevant.
We assess the roof structure from inside the loft before quoting on any re-roof — identifying any rafter or joist concerns that affect the scope. Nail sickness assessments are slope-by-slope: we test representative tiles on each slope and give findings in writing before any re-roof recommendation is made. Phased options are always quoted alongside full re-roof pricing.

On this kind of stock, the problems we see most in Hardenhuish are nail sickness across the 1960s–70s concrete-tile roofs, dropped ridge and verge mortar, and end-of-life felt underlay. Hardenhuish sits on the exposed western edge of Chippenham, catching the prevailing south-westerly weather first.
We measure the roof, inspect the structure from the loft, and confirm the tile match and planning position.

Sustained rain or high wind pauses stripping and tiling; we never leave a roof open overnight and re-cover progressively.
Hardenhuish is post-war estate housing with generous side access, driveways and space for scaffold and skips. Scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council, and on the estate roads off Bristol Road we allow extra time for setup. Access is always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra.
The full re-roof carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee in writing, transferable if you sell; tiles and membrane carry their own manufacturer product guarantees.
