Hardenhuish is the large residential estate to the north of Chippenham town centre — predominantly 1960s and 70s construction, with some earlier post-war housing and later infill. The dominant roofing material is concrete interlocking tile, fixed with steel nails at the time of construction. After 50–60 years, those steel nails have corroded in most cases, leaving tiles resting on the batten rather than being actively held by it. This is nail sickness, and it is the single most common roofing issue across Hardenhuish.
Tiles affected by nail sickness slide progressively — first noticeably in high wind, then more regularly with every weather event. Many Hardenhuish homeowners have had tiles re-fixed two or three times by roofers who identified the symptom but not the cause. The only permanent solution is a full re-roof with modern stainless fixings or over-tile clips. We survey Hardenhuish properties honestly and tell you clearly whether you're at the repair-each-winter stage or whether a full re-roof is the more cost-effective path.
Nail sickness (corroded tile fixings), failed ridge and hip mortar on 50+ year old stock, and guttering bracket failure are the three most frequent calls from Hardenhuish. We also see chimney flashing failures on properties where lead from the original construction has never been replaced. All of these are diagnosable in a free survey.
"Had tiles sliding every winter for four years. Two roofers re-fixed them. These identified nail sickness immediately, gave an honest assessment of the roof's condition, and quoted a proper re-roof. Done in 4 days and the difference is extraordinary."
"Didn't think we needed a full re-roof yet. They surveyed it and confirmed the south-facing slope was at the re-roof stage but the north slope had another 5 years. Quoted a phased approach. Refreshingly honest."
"Lead around the chimney had been leaking for two winters. Reflashed properly, not just sealed over. Also replaced the broken gutter brackets on the back of the house while the ladders were out. Good value."
The signs are tiles that slide regularly in wind, tiles that rock when pressed, or tiles that have needed re-fixing more than once. If your 1960s–70s Chippenham property has original concrete tiles, nail sickness is probable — not possible. We offer free nail sickness surveys with a clear, honest recommendation.
In some cases, where deterioration is concentrated on one elevation — typically the south-facing slope which takes more UV exposure — a phased approach is viable. We survey each slope individually and give you a slope-by-slope assessment. We'll never quote a full re-roof if a partial approach genuinely meets your needs.
