Repointing & Brick Repair in Sheringham, Norfolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Norfolk, and Sheringham is no exception. Sheringham is a fishing town on the North Norfolk coast, smaller than Cromer but sharing its Victorian and Edwardian red-brick character. The town still has a working fishing fleet, and its older flint-and-brick cottages in the lower town near the beach reflect the traditional North Norfolk coastal vernacular — flint cobble lower courses with red-brick quoins, dressings and upper elevations. 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.
