Repointing & Brick Repair in Aylsham, Norfolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Norfolk, and Aylsham is no exception. Aylsham is a historic market town in North Norfolk, largely built in the distinctive Norfolk red-brick style and designated as a conservation area. The town was designed and built partly by Humphry Repton — the landscape gardener — giving it an unusually coherent Georgian townscape. Extensions and repairs here require careful brick matching to the local red brick that characterises the market place and surrounding streets. Doughty Construction Ltd carries out repointing and brick repair across Norfolk, 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.
