Wrea Green is one of the most picturesque villages in the Fylde, set around the largest village green in Lancashire and home to a mix of 19th-century brick cottages, Victorian farmhouses, and later detached properties. The village has won Lancashire’s Best Kept Village award 15 times, and the quality of its built environment reflects that pride. Brickwork here ranges from older handmade brick in the historic core to more uniform machine-made brick in the later residential streets.
Cheshire Pointing Ltd brings specialist brick repointing, cleaning, and restoration services to properties throughout Wrea 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.

They also needed guidance on the scope of the work, including time frame and material requirements.

Our Solution

Brick Repointing in the Wrea Green Area
Wrea Green sits in the heart of the Fylde, about 2 miles west of Kirkham and close to Lytham St Annes. The village surrounds the largest village green in Lancashire — a duck pond known locally as ‘The Dub’ sits at its edge — and the built character reflects centuries of development from a small agricultural settlement into one of Lancashire’s most desirable addresses. The Grade II listed St Nicholas Church, rebuilt in 1848–49 by the Lancaster architects Sharpe and Paley, anchors the historic core. Surrounding it are 19th-century brick cottages, Victorian farmhouses, and later detached properties, many of which have soft handmade brick that responds poorly to hard cement repointing. Matching mortar type, colour, and joint profile matters here — both for longevity and to preserve the character of the village.
