Repointing & Brick Repair in Kessingland, Suffolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Suffolk, and Kessingland is no exception. Kessingland is a coastal village between Lowestoft and Southwold with a high proportion of bungalows and low-rise residential properties — a housing type particularly suited to single-storey brick extensions and garden wall projects. Its exposed coastal position means brickwork here is subject to salt-laden winds, making mortar specification and pointing quality important for longevity. 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.
