Repointing & Brick Repair in Wroxham, Norfolk

Deteriorated mortar joints are among the most common causes of water ingress in brick buildings across Norfolk, and Wroxham is no exception. Wroxham is known as the "capital of the Broads" and sits on the River Bure in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Its domestic building stock reflects the Broads vernacular — red brick, pantile and occasional flint, with properties that face the challenges of high water tables and damp ground typical of the Broadland environment. Groundwork and drainage design requires extra care on sites near the river. 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.
