Repointing & Brick Repair in Debenham, Suffolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Suffolk, and Debenham is no exception. Debenham is a small village and civil parish in the heart of High Suffolk, on the River Deben. The village has an attractive linear street of mostly Victorian and early 20th-century red-brick cottages and farmhouses, typical of the mid-Suffolk agricultural hinterland. Work in Debenham and the surrounding High Suffolk villages tends toward extensions, garden walls and repointing on older brick farm buildings and domestic cottages. 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.
