Great Shelford is one of the more affluent villages south of Cambridge, with a good stock of Victorian and Edwardian properties whose original chimney stacks deserve more than a quick repoint.
Station Road and the streets around the village green carry substantial detached and semi-detached houses, many with multiple stacks and decorative corbelled brickwork at the top. These features are worth preserving — a shoddy rebuild with modern hard cement mortar will crack and look wrong within a few years on this kind of brickwork.
We use hydraulic lime mixes on pre-1950s stacks in Great Shelford, which flex with the structure rather than fighting it. Where original bricks are beyond saving, we source reclaimed stock to keep the appearance authentic — something that matters in a conservation-conscious village with active planning oversight.
