Hurst Green is a small village in the Ribble Valley, set in the Hodder Valley between Clitheroe and Longridge. It is best known as the home of Stonyhurst College, one of England’s oldest Catholic schools, whose impressive stone buildings dominate the landscape. The village itself has a mix of stone-built cottages, Victorian terraces, and later detached properties, many of which are constructed from local sandstone and limestone with lime mortar joints.
Cheshire Pointing Ltd brings specialist brick repointing, cleaning, and restoration services to properties throughout Hurst Green. Whether your home is a Georgian townhouse with decorative stonework, a Victorian terrace with ornamental brickwork, or a later inter-war build, our experienced team understands the materials and techniques needed to deliver a lasting, high-quality finish. We take care to match mortar colour, joint profile, and brick character so the completed work sits naturally with the rest of the building.

Brick Repointing in the Hurst Green Area
Hurst Green sits in the Hodder Valley, about 5 miles south-west of Clitheroe and 8 miles north-east of Longridge. The village is surrounded by some of the finest countryside in the Ribble Valley, with the River Hodder running close by. Stonyhurst College, founded in 1794, is the dominant landmark — its baroque-influenced stone buildings are a scheduled monument and a significant example of historic masonry construction. The village properties are largely built from local sandstone, with lime mortar joints that require careful matching when repointing. Nearby settlements include Longridge, Ribchester, Chipping, and Dunsop Bridge.
