Park North was built alongside Penhill in the late 1950s and early 1960s as part of Swindon's massive post-war council housing programme. We provide expert roofing services across Park North — repairs, replacements, flat roofing and emergency call-outs with free quotes and a 10-year guarantee.
Park North was built alongside Penhill in the late 1950s and early 1960s as part of Swindon's massive post-war council housing programme. The estate spreads north of Queens Drive with predominantly semi-detached houses using the same concrete interlocking tile specification as Penhill — and suffering the same nail sickness epidemic. The slightly more exposed position on the northern edge of the town means wind damage is marginally worse here than on the more sheltered central estates.
Identical nail sickness profile to Penhill — 60-year-old steel nails corroding across the estate. North-facing roof slopes on properties along Akers Way and Headlands Grove show more moss growth and moisture retention, accelerating the felt degradation beneath the tiles. Ridge tiles on the northern boundary properties face unbroken wind from open farmland to the north.
We work on every street in Park North including Queens Drive, Akers Way, Headlands Grove, Cricklade Road north, Moredon Road, Rodbourne Road and all surrounding roads. If you're not sure whether we cover your street, call 0179 329 7084 — we almost certainly do.

0179 329 7084"Same nail sickness story as most of Park North. They stripped and re-roofed in five days — new everything from membrane up. The crew were tidy, professional and kept us informed. No regrets at all."
"Ridge tiles rattling in every gale. They re-bedded the full ridge with stainless fixings. Two storm seasons since with zero problems. Money well spent."
"Tiles blown off overnight — water coming into the back bedroom. They were here within the hour, tarped it, and fixed it properly the next day. Outstanding response."
It's widespread. Most 1960s Park North properties with original roofs have significant nail corrosion. If your tiles are moving, clicking in the wind, or you're finding mortar debris in the gutters, the nails are failing. A free survey will confirm the extent.
A new roof in Park North costs £4,500-£7,000 for a semi with concrete tiles, £7,000-£15,000 for detached. Includes scaffold, stainless fixings, breathable membrane, Building Regulations and our 10-year guarantee. See our new roof cost guide.
We can, but if the underlying cause is nail sickness, more tiles will slip after the next storm. We always survey the whole roof and show you the evidence — then you decide whether to patch or replace.

Yes. NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors) membership requires demonstrated competence, adequate insurance and ongoing quality compliance. Our membership can be verified at nfrc.co.uk. We also carry £5m public liability insurance and provide written guarantees on all work. See our guide to choosing a roofer.
Swindon's exposed plateau position at 120m creates roofing conditions distinct from sheltered valley towns. Wind loading is higher, temperature swings are wider, and freeze-thaw cycling is more frequent. This means roofs here work harder and fail sooner than in more protected locations. Understanding your specific situation — the age of your roof, the materials used, and the exposure conditions of your property — is essential for making the right maintenance and investment decisions.
We offer free roof surveys and consultations across Swindon and a 15-mile radius. We inspect from the roof, photograph everything, and explain what we find without pressure or obligation. Whether you need immediate work or are planning ahead, an honest professional assessment helps you make informed decisions. Call 0179 329 7084 to book your free inspection.

Just straightforward advice from the people who will actually do the work.
Park North shares Penhill's nail sickness profile but adds northern wind exposure from the open farmland beyond the town boundary. North-facing roof slopes here show more moss growth, more moisture retention in the felt, and more accelerated corrosion than equivalent south-facing slopes on the same houses. The ridge line running east-west through the estate catches the prevailing south-westerly wind, meaning ridge tiles on these properties are displaced more frequently than on estates running north-south. We specify enhanced ridge fixings as standard on all Park North work.
We survey from the roof, not just the ground. We photograph everything and explain what we find in plain English. We quote in writing with itemised costs and no hidden extras. We use the correct materials for the property type and era — lime mortar on pre-1920 masonry, stainless steel fixings on all tile work, breathable membrane on re-roofs, marine-grade plywood on flat roof decks. We do not subcontract. Our own team handles every job from the initial survey through to completion and sign-off. Every job carries our written 10-year workmanship guarantee. Call 0179 329 7084 for a free survey with no obligation.

Shares wider Swindon area exposure patterns.
The most common repair calls in Park North mirror the wider Swindon pattern: nail sickness on post-war concrete tile roofs, flat roof membrane failure on rear extensions, mortar verge and ridge deterioration, and gutter blockage from mature trees. A professional inspection tells you exactly which apply to your property.
We inspect from the roof — not the ground. On Park North properties we check tile fixings, felt condition, flashings, chimney stacks, guttering and fascia condition.
Itemised specification within 48 hours — materials, labour, scaffold and waste all listed separately. No lump sums.
Our own team handles every job. Daily cleanup. Weathertight every night. We never leave a roof exposed.
Written 10-year workmanship guarantee. Materials carry separate manufacturer warranties. Invoice on completion — no deposits.
Access depends on the job and property type. Ladder work for minor repairs. Tower or full scaffold for roofline, chimney and re-roof work. Scaffold is always itemised in your quote. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Swindon Borough Council; allow a few working days on streets like local residential streets.
Every job in Park North carries our written 10-year workmanship guarantee covering labour, fixings and installation. Materials carry separate manufacturer warranties. If a fault appears, we come back and fix it — no quibbling.
