Repointing & Brick Repair in Beccles, Suffolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Suffolk, and Beccles is no exception. Beccles is a compact market town on the River Waveney whose historic centre is dominated by Georgian and Victorian red-brick, much of it within a designated conservation area. New-build residential development on the outskirts has expanded considerably in recent years, bringing both brick-and-block new-build work and period refurbishment projects. 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.
