Repointing & Brick Repair in Woodbridge, Suffolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Suffolk, and Woodbridge is no exception. Woodbridge is a prosperous market town at the tidal head of the River Deben in east Suffolk, known for its tide mill and its attractive town centre of Georgian and Victorian red-brick buildings with painted-plaster infill. The Deben estuary setting has historically influenced the building character — Georgian merchants' houses on the hill above the waterfront, with flint and brick farm buildings in the surrounding parishes. 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.
