Royal Wootton Bassett sits in a shallow vale directly in the path of Atlantic weather systems funnelling along the M4 corridor from the Bristol Channel. The town receives measurably more westerly rainfall than Swindon, making chimney pointing failure and flat roof deterioration more severe. The Templars Firs and Longleaze estates from the 1980s-90s are seeing widespread flat roof failure on original rear extensions.
Every repair starts with a proper inspection from the roof, not just the ground. We photograph the damage, explain what needs doing, and give you a written quote on the spot. If we have the materials on the van and the repair is straightforward, we can often complete it the same day. All fixings are stainless steel or copper — we never use plain steel nails. Every repair carries our written 10-year workmanship guarantee.
We are NFRC registered, carry £5m public liability insurance, and provide a written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job.

We carry a mobile inventory of the 12 most common tile profiles used across Swindon and Wiltshire — Marley Ludlow Plus, Redland 49, Marley Modern, Marley Mendip, Redland Renown, and six period profiles in clay and slate. This means most repairs can be completed on the first visit. For less common profiles, we identify the tile during the survey and source matching stock from our supplier network, typically within 48 hours. Every replaced tile is fixed with A2 stainless steel nails — never galvanised, never plain steel. We use code 4 milled lead for all flashing repairs, dressed with a minimum 75mm upstand and pointed into chase cuts with flexible Geocel sealant rather than rigid mortar that cracks within two years.
Every repair carries our written 10-year workmanship guarantee. This covers the labour, the fixings and the installation method. Tile manufacturers provide their own separate warranty — typically 30 years for concrete and 75+ years for natural slate. Lead flashings carry an expected lifespan of 30-40 years when correctly specified and installed. Ridge tiles re-bedded with mechanical fixings are designed to last the lifetime of the tile itself.
The most common question we hear is whether a repair will actually last or whether they are just delaying the inevitable. The honest answer is that a properly executed repair using the correct materials and fixings will last as long as the surrounding roof. A tile replaced with stainless steel nails will not slip again. A flashing dressed in code 4 lead with flexible sealant will not crack for 30 years. A ridge re-bedded with mechanical fixings will outlast the mortar. The key is the specification — cheap materials and shortcuts produce cheap results. We never compromise on specification because a repair that fails reflects on us, and our reputation is what keeps us in business. If a repair will not last, we tell you and recommend the alternative. If it will, we guarantee it for 10 years.
The westerly rain corridor through Royal Wootton Bassett means we specify enhanced waterproofing on all west-facing elevations. Chimney pointing uses weather-struck joints for maximum rain shedding. Lead flashings get additional cover width on the prevailing weather face. Guttering capacity is assessed against the higher rainfall volume this town receives compared to Swindon.
