Repointing & Brick Repair in Aldeburgh, Suffolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Suffolk, and Aldeburgh is no exception. Aldeburgh is a small Suffolk coastal town internationally famous for its music festival and the Snape Maltings concert hall. Its high street has a fine row of brick and painted-render Georgian and Regency buildings directly facing the sea — one of the most exposed frontages in Suffolk. Brickwork on Aldeburgh's seafront and seafront-adjacent streets must be specified to withstand extreme coastal exposure, with durable mortars and careful attention to pointing. Doughty Construction Ltd carries out repointing and brick repair across Suffolk, raking out to the correct depth and specifying the mortar — lime or cement-based depending on the building type and age — so the repair protects the wall rather than causing further damage.
