Builders in Caxton
Caxton is a small village a few minutes southwest of Cambourne along the old Ermine Street. It’s a mix of period cottages and newer homes, and we work on both.
Building & bricklaying in Caxton
Older Caxton properties often need careful brickwork, repointing with matched mortar and sympathetic repairs, while the newer homes are good candidates for extensions and garden rooms.

Common questions
- Can you repoint an old cottage in Caxton?
- Yes. Older cottages usually need a soft lime mortar rather than hard modern cement, which can trap moisture and damage old brick. We rake out carefully and match the colour and finish of the original joints.
- Do I need special permission to work on a period property in Caxton?
- It depends. Parts of the village are in a conservation area and some buildings are listed, which can mean extra consents for alterations. Check with South Cambridgeshire District Council before you commit, and we’ll work to whatever is approved.
