Whipton’s post-war and 1960s estate housing shares the same nail-sickness pattern as neighbouring Pinhoe. Concrete interlocking tile from the 1950s–70s is now at or past the steel nail design life. A planned re-roof on stainless fixings provides 40–50 years of low-maintenance roofing. Free survey, fixed price. Call 01392 759 295.
The post-war and 1960s semis along Whipton Barton Road and the surrounding streets are now entering the decade when nail sickness transitions from a repair issue to a replacement decision for many properties. We carry out free condition surveys across Whipton that assess nail condition across the full roof plane — not just the tiles that have already moved. The survey output is an honest percentage figure and a clear repair-versus-replace recommendation.
Whipton’s tree canopy creates an autumn leaf accumulation problem in valleys that should be addressed at the re-roof stage. When re-roofing a Whipton property, we assess valley geometry and recommend leaf guard installation where the debris load from adjacent trees is significant. Installing valley leaf guards at the re-roof stage costs a fraction of the annual valley clearance cost over the new roof’s 40–50 year life.
A standard Whipton post-war 3-bed semi re-roof runs over 4–5 days. We strip, inspect the deck and battens, replace battens where deterioration is found, lay breathable underlay, tile with new stainless-nailed concrete or clay interlocking tile, bed and point the ridge, and re-hang the gutters. We provide a written day-by-day schedule in the quote so the homeowner knows exactly what to expect each day.
Free survey and quote — no call-out fee, no obligation.
