Building Services in Histon
Prestige Building and Brickwork works on homes in Histon and the surrounding Cambridge area. Our work includes house extensions, loft conversions, new builds, whole-home refurbishment, structural alterations, specialist brickwork and property maintenance and repairs.
Tell us what you would like to achieve and share any drawings or photographs you already have. We will let you know whether we can prepare an initial price from that information or whether a site visit would be useful.
We work throughout Histon and Impington and the neighbouring villages north of Cambridge, including Girton, Cottenham and Milton. From our base in Great Shelford we are usually on site in about twenty minutes outside the rush hour, supporting consistent day-to-day coordination during the build.
Histon’s housing ranges from older brick cottages in the village core to substantial family homes on the newer roads, and our approach is the same for both: match the existing materials properly, agree the scope in writing, and run the job through clearly defined stages.
A Completed Extension and Refurbishment in Histon
Our Clay Street case study documents a substantial rear extension and refurbishment to a family home in Histon. Structural alterations and internal reconfiguration created a bright open-plan kitchen, dining and living area connected to the garden.
The photographed work includes foundations, masonry, structural openings, a pitched roof and rooflights, wide glazed doors, plastering, flooring, kitchen installation, bathroom work and completed internal finishes. Explore the case study to see the build progress and finished spaces.
The Clay Street project is a short walk from the village centre, and we are happy to discuss the build sequence and decisions from it in detail if you are planning something similar in Histon or Impington.

Planning Building Work in Histon?
Histon and Impington fall under Greater Cambridge Shared Planning, the planning service for South Cambridgeshire District Council. Two local factors come up regularly. Parts of the old village core lie within a conservation area, where the choice of bricks, roof materials and window details on visible elevations can be subject to closer scrutiny. And the villages sit within the Cambridge Green Belt, which rarely affects a domestic extension but can matter for outbuildings, annexes and larger proposals. Neither is an obstacle to good work — but both are worth establishing before drawings are finalised, and we can help you do that.
Building Regulations sign-off is separate from planning and, for Histon, is also familiar territory for us through the shared building control arrangements covering the Cambridge area.

- Single- and two-storey house extensions

Common questions about building work in Histon
Which council handles planning in Histon?
Histon and Impington sit within South Cambridgeshire, so planning applications go to the district council. Building Regulations approval is a separate route, handled through 3C Building Control.
How quickly can you get to a job in Histon?
We are usually on site in about twenty minutes from our Great Shelford base outside the rush hour, which is what makes consistent day-to-day coordination possible while a build is running.
Can you match brickwork on an older village property?
Yes. Histon’s housing runs from older brick cottages in the village core to substantial family homes on the newer roads, and matching the existing materials properly is the same first step in both cases.
Have you completed work in Histon?
Yes. The Clay Street case study documents a substantial rear extension and refurbishment, including the structural alterations and internal reconfiguration that created the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.
Histon work also takes in loft conversions, specialist repointing and new-build work, and the village sits within our wider Cambridgeshire service area.
