Little Shelford is a quiet, largely agricultural village where older farmhouses and flint-faced cottages sit alongside more recent infill houses — and nearly all of them have lead details that need careful maintenance.
The village's smaller size means there are fewer properties, but many of them are substantial: older farmsteads and manor-style houses with complex rooflines, multiple chimney stacks, and pitched roofs where lead valleys carry rainwater from intersecting slopes. When lead fails on a building like this, the results are rarely contained — water spreads widely before it shows itself internally.
We treat every job in Little Shelford the same as a larger contract: proper code-graded lead, correctly dressed joints, and no shortcuts at abutments or chimney aprons. We cover Little Shelford as part of our regular south Cambridgeshire rounds alongside Great Shelford and Hauxton. Get in touch to book a free lead inspection.
