The majority of Up Hatherley's concrete tile roofs were laid between 1963 and 1978. Concrete tiles typically have a design life of 40-60 years, and nails used in this era were untreated steel — now corroding and failing in large numbers. It is common to find a property where several tiles have slipped and find that 30-40% of the remaining nails are at risk.
UPVC fascia and soffit boards on 1970s and 1980s properties in Up Hatherley are broadly at end of life. UV degradation causes brittleness and cracking, joint sealant failures, and in many cases the boards are now pulling away from the wall plate. Replacing fascias and soffits on a standard semi is typically a one-day job and eliminates the most common source of water penetration at roof edge.
Nail sickness on 1960s-70s concrete tile roofs is the primary repair call across Up Hatherley. UPVC fascia and soffit failures on 1970s-80s stock are the second most common issue. Rear extension flat roof failures on original felt systems that have reached or exceeded their design life complete the typical repair picture.

"Had the front slope re-nailed after three tiles came off in the January storms. They checked the rear and found it was in similar condition — quoted honestly to do both while the scaffold was up. Saved a second call-out and a larger repair bill next year."
"New UPVC fascia and soffits on our 1970s semi. Old boards were cracking and pulling away from the wall plate. New system is well fitted and the gutters run level now. Tidy job, in and out in a day."
"GRP flat roof on the rear extension to replace failed felt. Water had been getting in at the parapet for at least two years judging by the damage. New GRP is watertight and under ten-year guarantee. Good value for a permanent solution."
