Much of the village lies within a conservation area, with thatched cottages, timber-framed and listed buildings, and older brick and clunch properties along the High Street and down towards the church and manor. Work on these buildings has to respect what's already there, matching brick, lime mortar and traditional detailing rather than modern equivalents, and Jack treats that as standard practice, not an add-on. Being on the flood plain also means ground conditions and drainage need proper thought, whether that's a new patio, an extension foundation or landscaping close to the riverbank. Alongside the historic core, the village has newer housing further from the water, and it's here that we built a grand-design new-build home from groundworks upwards: a full self-build rather than a renovation, and one of the more involved projects we've completed in the area. The mix of building stock in Hemingford Grey, thatch and timber frame at one end, contemporary new-build at the other, means the jobs we're called out for vary widely: careful repointing and brick repair on an old cottage one week, structural steelwork or a full extension on a more modern house the next. Whatever the property, Jack looks at it in person before quoting, particularly given how many buildings here are listed or sit within the conservation area. ### Setting Riverside village on the Great Ouse, largely within a conservation area with thatched and listed cottages. ### Ground conditions Flood-plain ground close to the river needs careful thought on drainage and foundations. ### Recent project A grand-design new-build home built by Prime Build from groundworks upwards, plus boundary walls and a fireplace.

Jack has ten years in the trade and is on site for every job, and that hands-on approach matters most on the older, more delicate buildings found across Hemingford Grey. We're also one of the few local builders who has taken a project in the village from groundworks through to a finished grand-design new-build home, so we understand both ends of the property spectrum here, careful repair work on centuries-old cottages and full self-build construction on modern plots. Every job, large or small, carries a 6-month workmanship guarantee, and Prime Build Services Ltd holds £2 million insurance cover. - Built a grand-design new-build home in Hemingford Grey from groundworks up - Experience working on listed and conservation-area property - 10 years in the trade under Jack Prime - 5.0 rating from 36 Google reviews - £2 million insurance cover - 6-month workmanship guarantee on every job Local building conditions ## Common issues we see in Hemingford Grey The village's mix of ancient cottages and newer homes brings a particular set of recurring problems. ### Failed lime pointing on old cottages Traditional lime mortar breaks down over time and needs replacing in kind, not with modern cement pointing which traps moisture in older walls. ### Timber-frame and listed building sensitivity Extensions and alterations to listed or conservation-area property need to be built to approved drawings, matching existing materials and proportions. ### Flood-plain drainage Patios, extensions and landscaping close to the river need foundations and drainage designed for wet ground, not a standard build. ### Self-build coordination New-build homes in the village need groundworks, structure and finishing trades sequenced properly from day one, which is exactly what our grand-design project here involved.
