Local roofing specialists covering Hardenhuish and all of Chippenham. 1958–1978 post-war estate housing experts — free no-obligation quotes, no call-out fees.
Hardenhuish is the largest post-war estate in Chippenham and the most concentrated nail sickness zone in north Wiltshire. Built almost entirely 1958–1978 with concrete interlocking tile, the estate's fixing nails are now 55–65 years old and corroded through on the majority of properties. We carry out more nail sickness surveys here than anywhere else in our coverage. The assessment is almost always the same: systemic fixing failure across all slopes, full re-roof recommended.
Nail sickness system-wide — the defining maintenance issue across the entire estate. Original timber fascia 55–65 years old and frequently rotten. Original UPVC guttering (where it replaced timber) now 30–40 years old.
Hardenhuish properties that have had tiles re-fixed repeatedly by different contractors without a nail sickness survey are wasting money on a problem that cannot be patched. Each individual tile fix addresses one symptom while ten adjacent tiles are waiting to fail. A full re-roof on a Hardenhuish semi costs £5,500–£8,500 — typically recouped against continued repair call-outs within 3–4 years. We give genuinely honest slope-by-slope findings and quote the minimum work that meets the situation.
