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.

"Full re-roof on 1967 semi — concrete tile, new felt and battens. 10-year guarantee. First winter completely dry after years of patching."
"Storm damage — ridge tiles displaced. Emergency call answered same day. Tiles replaced and repointed same visit."
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.
Large post-war estate built primarily 1958–1978 with concrete interlocking tile throughout. The most concentrated nail sickness zone in our coverage — original mild steel fixing nails are now 55–65 years old and corroded through on most properties.
Nail sickness presenting as regular tile displacement across all slopes is the defining call from Stanley. Individual tile re-fixing is a temporary measure that doesn't resolve the systemic nail failure — only re-roofing does.
We carry out more nail sickness surveys on Stanley than any other Chippenham area. The assessment is almost always the same: systemic fixing failure, full or phased re-roof recommended. We quote both options side by side.
Yes — Stanley is one of Chippenham's primary nail sickness zones. Almost all properties with original 1960s–70s concrete tile have fixing nails at or past their 55–65 year design life.
Concrete interlocking tile: £5,500–£8,500 including scaffold, strip, new felt and battens, lead and 10-year guarantee. Free written quote — no call-out fee.
Yes — where some slopes are sound, phased re-roofing replaces the worst first. We quote both phased and full options.
Re-fixing individual tiles doesn't resolve nail sickness — adjacent tiles have the same corroded nails. A nail sickness survey and re-roof is the only genuine resolution.
