The town runs along the old A1 corridor and up onto the greensand ridge, which means the ground conditions change block by block: sandy, free-draining soil on the higher ground around the ridge and heavier clay in the lower parts of town nearer the River Ivel. That matters for anything with foundations in it, from an extension to a new patio, and it's one of the first things Jack checks when he looks at a job here. The town has a real mix of housing stock. There are Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre and the station, solid 1930s semis further out, post-war estates towards Beeston and Girtford, and newer housing on the fringes towards Everton and Blunham. Each brings its own issues: older terraces often need brickwork repairs and repointing where original mortar has failed, 1930s semis are common candidates for side or rear extensions and knock-throughs, and newer estate houses tend to need garden work, patios, driveways and fencing, more than structural jobs. We also pick up work in the villages around Sandy, including Blunham, Beeston, Girtford and out towards Potton, where cottages and older village houses sit alongside newer infill development. Whatever the property, the approach is the same: Jack comes out, looks at the actual ground and the actual building, and prices the job properly rather than guessing over the phone. ### Ground conditions Sandy soil on the greensand ridge, heavier clay lower down near the Ivel, foundation depths are checked on site, not assumed. ### Property mix Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war estates and newer infill housing. ### Typical distance A short drive from our St Neots base, so getting out to look at a job in Sandy is straightforward to arrange.

We recently completed a 60 sq m natural stone slip and lime pointing job for Nick Watt, and repointing work like it is a regular request in Sandy's older streets. ### Cramped layouts in older houses Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with small, separate rooms. Removing a load-bearing wall and fitting a steel beam opens up the kitchen and living space, but it needs doing properly, not guessed at. ### Drainage on clay ground Lower parts of Sandy near the Ivel sit on heavier clay, which holds water. Patios and driveways here need proper falls and drainage built in from the start, or they'll puddle within a season. ### Boundary walls and fences needing replacement Post-war and estate housing often has ageing boundary fences and low brick walls that have moved or rotted and need resetting or rebuilding.
