Stanley is one of Chippenham's largest post-war estates, built primarily 1958–1978 with concrete interlocking tile throughout. It is the most concentrated nail sickness zone in our coverage area. Original mild steel fixing nails on these properties are now 55–65 years old — corroded through and leaving tiles resting on the batten rather than being actively fixed. Tiles displace progressively in moderate wind, and the pattern of failure is across whole slopes rather than isolated tiles.
Nail sickness system-wide on 1960s–70s concrete tile. Repeated tile displacement despite previous re-fixing. Ridge mortar deterioration. UPVC guttering from the build phase now 55–65 years old.
We carry out more nail sickness surveys on Stanley than any other single Chippenham area. The pattern is consistent: tiles re-fixed two or three times over five years by different contractors, displacement continues. The only genuine resolution is re-roofing — a full re-roof or phased slope-by-slope approach depending on survey findings. We assess each slope individually and quote the minimum work that actually meets the situation.

Stanley sits on the northern edge of Chippenham with moderate exposure. The defining characteristic is not climate but age: the entire estate was built in a single phase, meaning every property's roof is at the same maintenance stage simultaneously.
