Lowden is 2 miles from our base.
Lowden occupies the western side of Chippenham toward Corsham, with Victorian and Edwardian properties on the town edge transitioning to post-war semis and 1970s–80s detached housing further west. The proximity to Corsham's conservation area means some older Lowden properties have clay plain tile rather than the concrete interlocking tile dominant elsewhere in west Chippenham — requiring clay tile stock and lime mortar for repair work.

Lowden occupies the western side of Chippenham toward Corsham, with the proximity to the conservation area meaning some older properties have conservation-appropriate materials requirements alongside the standard estate housing profile.
Victorian and Edwardian properties on the town edge transitioning to post-war and 1970s–80s housing further west. The Corsham proximity means some properties have clay plain tile rather than the concrete interlocking dominant elsewhere in west Chippenham.
Lead valley failures on Victorian stock; early nail sickness on 1970s properties; and flat roof extension failures across both build phases. Clay tile matching required on period properties near the Corsham edge.
Lowden's position between the Victorian conservation area boundary and the post-war estate housing means we carry a broader material range to Lowden visits than to single-era areas — clay tile, lime mortar, concrete profiles and GRP materials.
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.

01249 247 076 ✉ Email UsLowden is a close-knit Chippenham district of Victorian and early-20th-century terraces west of the centre, with some later infill. On this kind of stock, the problems we see most in Lowden are slipped slates and tiles on the terraces, eroded chimney pointing, and shared-valley issues between terraced properties. Lowden sits west of the town centre, its older terraced roofs long exposed to the prevailing weather.
We measure the roof, inspect the structure from the loft, and confirm the tile match and planning position.
A written quote breaking scaffold, strip, membrane, battens, tiles, lead and guarantee out separately.
We agree scaffold dates and the timeline — typically 3–8 working days for a semi.
Scaffold goes up; the old covering is stripped and disposed of.
New membrane, battens, tiles, ridge and lead fitted; the roof is signed off with a 10-year guarantee.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Terraced re-roof (concrete) | 3–5 days |
| Semi-detached re-roof (concrete) | 4–6 days |
| Semi-detached re-roof (clay) | 5–8 days |
| Detached / complex roof | 7–12 days |
| Scaffold up to strike | +1 day each end |
Sustained rain or high wind pauses stripping and tiling; we never leave a roof open overnight and re-cover progressively.
Lowden's terraced streets are tight with no side access, so scaffold setup and skip placement take longer and pass over the front. Scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council, and on the terraced streets off Marshfield 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.
