What louvred pergolas in Weldon usually involve
A louvred pergola is a freestanding powder-coated aluminium frame with a roof of adjustable louvres. Open them for sun and air; close them and the roof sheds rain into gutters inside the frame and down through the posts. Lighting is built in, and the sides can be left open or closed in with screens, glass or blinds.
Weldon is an old stone village on the east side of Corby, famous for Weldon stone, the limestone quarried here for centuries. Its historic centre of stone houses is surrounded by later estates that now join it to Corby.
We cover Weldon (NN17) and the villages around it, including Great Oakley, Little Oakley, Deene, Brigstock and Stanion.
Ground, drainage and conservation in Weldon
Weldon sits over the limestone and ironstone that were quarried here, and ground can change from natural rock to clay or fill within a garden. The Willow Brook runs past the village, so drainage needs designing rather than assuming. Ground in Weldon can change from ironstone to clay within one garden, so we dig at the post positions first and choose between fixing to the existing patio, concrete pads or a new base from what we find.
Weldon has a conservation area covering the historic village, appraised in 2009. North Northamptonshire has no Article 4 direction in Weldon affecting driveways, porches or extensions.
The Willow Brook runs past Weldon, where the Environment Agency operates the Weldon flood storage reservoir. You can check any address on the Environment Agency flood map.
