Hardenhuish is Chippenham's largest post-war estate, positioned 1 mile north of the town centre. Exposure is typical for north Chippenham. The defining factor is age: built almost entirely 1958–1978, the entire estate is at the nail sickness threshold simultaneously.
Near-uniform 1958–78 concrete interlocking tile throughout. The most concentrated nail sickness zone in north Wiltshire. Original fixing nails are 55–65 years old and corroded through on the majority of properties.
Nail sickness is the single dominant call from Hardenhuish — more re-roof enquiries originate here than from any other Chippenham area. Properties that have had tiles re-fixed repeatedly by different contractors are on a maintenance treadmill that only re-roofing resolves.
We are 1 mile from Hardenhuish — 3 minutes. We carry out more nail sickness surveys here than anywhere else. The recommendation is almost always a full or phased re-roof, quoted slope-by-slope with both options presented side by side.
