Cocklebury sits between the heavily nail-sick Hardenhuish stock and the flat roof-dominated Pewsham estate, sharing characteristics of both. 1970s properties are entering the early nail sickness phase — tiles loosening but not yet displacing at the Hardenhuish rate. 1980s additions have flat roofs and UPVC guttering now 40–45 years old. The combination makes Cocklebury a high-activity maintenance area where survey work regularly identifies multiple issues on the same property.
Early nail sickness on 1970s properties. Flat roof failures on 1980s extensions. Fascia deterioration on original timber boards. UPVC guttering joint failures.
The 1970s Cocklebury properties are at the optimal intervention window — early enough that phased re-roofing is available as a cost-effective option, but late enough that the nail sickness is confirmed rather than suspected. Waiting a further 5 years risks the transition to systemic failure that requires a full re-roof. We survey honestly and quote the right intervention for the specific slope condition.
Repointing, reflashing, flaunching. Correct mortar for every property type.

Cocklebury sits between central Chippenham and the Pewsham development, with moderate exposure. The 1970s and 1980s housing creates a maintenance profile that bridges the nail sickness era and the flat roof era.
1970s properties are entering the early nail sickness phase — still at the optimal intervention window where phased re-roofing is cost-effective. 1980s additions have flat roofs and UPVC guttering now 40–45 years old.
Early nail sickness on 1970s properties is the primary emerging call — tiles loosening rather than displacing at the Hardenhuish rate. 1980s flat roof failures are the secondary category, with fascia and gutter deterioration across both eras.
Cocklebury is at the optimal intervention point for nail sickness — early enough to phase the work, late enough that the problem is confirmed rather than suspected. We advise on the most cost-effective intervention for each slope's condition.
