Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Lostwithiel Operating Across Cornwall
Trusted Lostwithiel Chimney Repairs and Specialist Leadwork
If you've ever spent a stormy night in Lostwithiel listening to the wind howl around your eaves, you'll know just how much punishment our local chimneys take. It's often the most exposed part of your house, sitting right up there in the thick of the Atlantic gales. At Cornwall & Plymouth Roofing, trading as Elite Construction, we've spent years helping neighbours across Cornwall keep their stacks sturdy and their hearths dry. Whether you're living in a beautiful historic cottage near the River Fowey or a more modern home on the outskirts, your chimney needs a bit of expert care to stay weatherproof. We're a family-run team that treats every roof as if it were our own, providing honest advice and craftsmanship that's built to last.
Why Choose Us?
Stop Chimney Leaks Damaging Your Home
Have you spotted a strange damp patch appearing on the breast of your upstairs fireplace? Or perhaps you've noticed a few bits of grit or mortar sitting in the guttering after a heavy downpour? These are classic signs that your chimney's defences are starting to fail. In our part of the world, the combination of driving rain and salt air can really eat away at old mortar joints. If water gets behind the bricks, it doesn't just stay there—it travels down into your home, causing damp and timber rot. Catching these small issues early with professional chimney maintenance is far easier (and cheaper) than dealing with a structural rebuild later on. We specialise in identifying the exact source of water ingress, whether it's a cracked pot or perished mortar.

Who We Are
Durable Chimney Repointing and Weatherproof Flaunching
We handle everything from simple repointing to complex structural repairs. If your mortar is crumbly or falling out, we'll carefully rake out the old joints and replace them with a fresh, weather-resistant mix—often using traditional lime mortar for older Lostwithiel properties to let the masonry breathe. We also specialise in 'flaunching' or benching. That's the sturdy mortar 'crown' at the very top that keeps your chimney pots secure. If that's cracked, water can seep straight down the flue, so we make sure it's sloped perfectly to shed every drop of rain. Our goal is always the same: to ensure the structural integrity of your stack while maintaining the character of your property.

Master Leadwork Designed for Cornish Coastal Weather
Lead is truly the unsung hero of a waterproof roof. It’s the seal that keeps the join between your chimney and the slates watertight, but it takes real skill to get right. Our team are experts in traditional lead bossing and welding, ensuring your lead flashing and soakers fit like a glove. We typically use high-quality Code 4 or Code 5 lead, which can easily last between 60 and 100 years if installed correctly. While some might try to use 'stick-on' alternatives, nothing beats the durability and character of real leadwork, especially on the characterful roofs we have here in Cornwall. Whether it's a simple step flashing or a complex back gutter, we ensure it's built to withstand the worst the Atlantic can throw at it.

01752 741428Structural Chimney Rebuilds and Safe Redundant Removals
Sometimes, a chimney is simply beyond a quick patch-up. If your stack is leaning or the brickwork is badly 'spalled'—where the faces of the bricks flake off—a chimney stack rebuild might be the safest option for your home. We can carefully dismantle the old structure and rebuild it to match the original style of your property. On the other hand, if you've got an old chimney that's no longer in use, we can safely remove it below the roofline or cap it off with a breathable vent. This keeps the birds out while making sure air still flows through the flue to prevent internal condensation and dampness.
