Repointing & Brick Repair in Cromer, Norfolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Norfolk, and Cromer is no exception. Cromer is a Victorian seaside resort on the North Norfolk coast, famous for its pier and its high street of Victorian red-brick commercial buildings. The coastal exposure here is severe — north-facing properties on the cliff top receive the full force of North Sea storms. Brickwork in Cromer must use appropriate mortar mixes and careful pointing to resist the combined effects of salt spray, driving rain and frost cycles. 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.
