Stoughton is a substantial Guildford suburb spread across the north-west of the town, bordered by the A320 and the grounds of Stoke Park. The housing is more varied than some of Guildford's other suburbs — Victorian terraces line Stoughton Road itself, while the estate streets behind are predominantly post-war and 1960s–70s semi-detached and terraced properties. More recent infill development adds a third layer of modern construction on former gap sites.
The mix of housing eras creates a varied repair profile. The Victorian terraces on Stoughton Road and surrounding streets have clay tile stock and chimney stacks that require period-appropriate repair. The post-war estates — built with concrete interlocking tiles through the 1950s, 60s and 70s — are now reaching the end of their design life, with nail sickness and tile degradation increasingly common. Flat-roofed garage and extension structures from the 1970s and 80s are also a significant source of repair calls.
Concrete tile nail sickness on Stoughton's 1960s–70s stock is the most common structural repair. The tiles on many of these properties are reaching 50–60 years old and the original galvanised clout nails have corroded progressively. This manifests as progressive tile slippage across whole slopes rather than isolated failures. Lead flashing failure on Stoughton Road's Victorian chimney stacks is also common. Flat roof deterioration on 1970s–80s garage extensions is increasingly requiring full replacement rather than patch repair.
“1970s terraced property on Aldershot Road — rear slope had five slipped tiles and the ridge mortar was failing along half the length. They replaced the affected tiles, rebed the ridge section and inspected the whole roof whilst up there. Efficient, well-priced and no pressure to do more than necessary.”
“Victorian terrace on Stoughton Road — lead valley had been leaking into the back bedroom for two years. They stripped it properly, installed new code 4 lead and repointed the chimney stack at the same time. Fixed on one visit. Wish we'd called sooner.”
“Garage flat roof — original felt from the 1980s. They stripped it, installed GRP with proper falls designed in, and it has been completely dry through two winters. Straightforward job done properly.”
Almost certainly, yes. Concrete tile nail sickness is very common on Stoughton's 1960s–70s housing stock. The tiles themselves are often still structurally sound but the original galvanised clout nails have corroded, allowing tiles to slip downslope. The proper repair is to strip the affected slope and re-nail with stainless steel fixings. We can confirm the extent during a free inspection.
Minor repairs — replacing a few tiles or resealing flashings — typically cost £150–£380 in Stoughton. Nail sickness work on a full slope runs £500–£900 depending on slope area. Lead valley and chimney flashing replacement is £350–£700. All quotes are free and itemised before work starts.
Yes. We regularly replace old felt flat roofs on Stoughton's 1970s–80s garages and extensions with GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. A standard single garage flat roof costs £800–£1,600 in GRP. We design proper drainage falls on every installation.
