Chandler's Ford's 1930s housing stock is the dominant repair driver in this area. The handmade plain clay tiles on interwar detached and semi-detached properties have reached an age where individual tiles are cracking, fading and crumbling at the edges. The challenge is matching — handmade clay from the 1920s-30s has a colour variation and surface texture that modern machine-made tiles cannot replicate. We source matching reclaimed and specialist reproduction tiles for every Chandler's Ford clay tile repair.
Clay Tile Repairs in Chandler's Ford
The most common repair call from Chandler's Ford is cracked or slipped plain clay plain tiles on the interwar housing along Hiltingbury Road, Merdon Avenue and the surrounding streets. We use Hampshire reclamation suppliers and specialist manufacturers who hold reproduction tiles in the profiles common to this area. We always bring a tile sample to survey stage so you can see the match before we commit to the repair.
Ridge Rebed in Chandler's Ford
Ridge tile mortar failure is the second most common repair on Chandler's Ford 1930s properties. The original sand-and-cement haunching has carbonated over 85-90 years, losing adhesion and allowing ridge tiles to rock in wind. A full ridge rebed uses flexible mortar to accommodate the thermal movement that causes rigid original mixes to crack — this is the correct long-term repair, not resealing with silicone.
