Brickwork Refurbishments in Newmarket, Suffolk

Older properties in and around Newmarket often need specialist brickwork refurbishment — failed mortar, spalled or cracked brick, bulging sections, or deteriorated chimney stacks. Newmarket is the global centre of the thoroughbred horse-racing industry, and its built environment reflects this — stable blocks, stud buildings, and residential development for stable staff sit alongside Georgian and Victorian townhouses. Many of the town's older buildings are in local red Suffolk brick; the town is also on the chalk edge where flint appears in older garden walls and outbuildings. Doughty Construction Ltd carries out masonry refurbishment across Suffolk, assessing each defect before specifying the right repair so the fix lasts and the building is better protected than before.

What's involved

Refurbishments in Newmarket

Refurbishment brickwork demands patience and an eye for detail — especially on period buildings where the original brick is no longer in production. We assess the extent of failure first, identify a compatible brick and mortar specification, and work carefully to minimise disruption to sound surrounding masonry. On conservation-area properties we follow the guidance on lime-based mortars and appropriate repair methods.
