Melbourn is a well-established village on the A10 in South Cambridgeshire, around ten miles south of Cambridge, and it has grown considerably since the postwar decades on the back of its good road links and proximity to the Sanger Institute and other science employers at Hinxton and Wellcome Genome Campus nearby. The housing stock reflects this layered growth — there are older flint and brick cottages near the village centre, a large belt of 1960s–1980s semi-detached and detached housing, and more recent private developments. Concrete interlocking tiles are the dominant roof covering on the mid-century and later properties, and ridge mortar failure is probably the most frequent repair job we carry out here. We're well-known in the village and can usually arrange a survey within a few days of enquiry.

Melbourn sits on the A10 around ten miles south of Cambridge and is close to the Wellcome Genome Campus at Hinxton and the Babraham Research Campus, which have brought significant professional employment to the area. The village has a brook running through it and sits in gently rolling chalk landscape — notably different in character from the flat northern fens.
Older flint and brick cottages in the village core, with extensive 1960s–80s semi-detached estate housing making up the majority of the residential stock. Some newer private developments on the village edges.
