Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Looe Operating Across Cornwall
Expert chimney repairs for Looe homes
Living in Looe, you know exactly how the weather can turn. One minute it's a beautiful sunset over the Banjo Pier, and the next, an Atlantic gale is rattling your windows. While we often worry about our windows and doors, it's actually your chimney that takes the biggest beating. Sitting high above your roofline, it's completely exposed to salt-laden air and wind-driven rain. If your chimney stack isn't in top shape, that moisture will find a way in. At Cornwall & Plymouth Roofing, trading as Elite Construction, we've spent years helping neighbours across Looe keep their homes dry and their stacks sturdy. We're a family-run team that understands exactly what the Cornish climate can do to old masonry and leadwork.
Why Choose Us?
Noticed damp patches on your chimney breast?
Most homeowners we talk to only realise there's a problem when they spot a dark stain on the upstairs ceiling or a damp patch appearing on the chimney breast. It's a worrying sight, isn't it? Usually, the culprit is perished mortar or failing lead. Over time, the mortar between your bricks (the pointing) can crumble away, allowing water to soak into the stack like a sponge. We specialise in chimney repointing, where we carefully rake out the old, sandy grit and replace it with a fresh, weather-resistant mix. For older properties in Looe or nearby Polperro, we can use traditional lime mortar to ensure your stonework can breathe properly, preventing internal damp issues before they start.

Who We Are
Leadwork that handles the Cornish gales
Have you ever wondered what's actually keeping the rain from running down the side of your chimney and straight into your attic? That's the lead flashing. It's the most vital seal on your roof, but it's also one of the most common failure points. We see a lot of 'quick fixes' using sticky tape or sealant, but in a coastal town like Looe, those just won't cut it. Our team are experts in traditional lead bossing and welding. We use proper Code 4 or Code 5 lead sheet, shaping it by hand to fit the unique contours of your roof. When it's done right, leadwork can last between 60 and 100 years. It's an investment that truly gives you peace of mind during those winter storms.

Securing your stack from the top down
Take a quick look up at your chimney. Is the pot sitting straight? Is the mortar base it sits in—what we call the flaunching or benching—cracked or covered in moss? This 'crown' of the chimney is designed to shed water away from the stack, but if it's cracked, water can seep down into the middle of the structure. We can strip back that old, brittle mortar and apply a strong, new flaunching to keep your pots secure. If you have a redundant chimney that's just letting heat escape, we can also install breathable caps. These keep the birds out and the rain off, while still allowing enough airflow to stop the flue from getting damp and smelly.
