Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in Penryn Operating Across Cornwall
Keep Your Penryn Home Dry With Expert Chimney Care
Living in Penryn, we're all used to that heavy mist rolling in off the river and those sharp Atlantic gales that seem to find every tiny gap in our houses. Your chimney usually takes the biggest hit. Being the highest point of your roof, it's exposed to the very worst of the Cornish elements. Have you noticed a few bits of old mortar on the driveway lately, or maybe a damp patch appearing on the breast in the spare room? These are classic signs that your chimney is crying out for a bit of professional attention before a small fix turns into a massive headache.
Why Choose Us?
Stop The Damp Before It Starts Indoors
It's easy to forget about the chimney until you see water dripping where it shouldn't be. Most homeowners we chat with in Penryn only realise there's an issue when they see brown stains on the ceiling. Often, the culprit is the lead flashing—that's the waterproof seal where the bricks meet the slates. Over time, the wind can lift it, or old mortar can crack, letting the rain creep right in. We've spent years climbing ladders across Cornwall to sort these exact problems. Whether it's a simple repoint to freshen up the masonry or a more complex lead replacement, we'll make sure your stack is as solid as the granite Penryn is famous for.

Who We Are
Mastering Traditional Leadwork For Coastal Protection
Lead is one of those traditional materials that just can't be beaten if it's installed correctly. In a coastal spot like ours, we don't use 'quick-fix' sticky tapes or sealants that peel off after one bad winter. Instead, we stick to proper lead bossing and welding. This involves shaping the lead by hand to fit the unique curves of your roof. We typically use high-grade Code 4 or Code 5 lead, which can easily last 60 to 100 years. It’s an investment that means you won't have to worry about that specific leak again in your lifetime. Does your current flashing look wrinkled or cracked? It might be time to let us take a look.

Local Penryn Experts Operating Across All Of Cornwall
Complete Chimney Services From Repointing To Rebuilds
Our team handles everything from the top pot down to the roofline. If your chimney pots are looking a bit wobbly, we can reset them with fresh flaunching—that's the strong mortar 'crown' at the top that sheds water away. We also specialise in:
- Repointing: Raking out old, sandy mortar and replacing it with weather-resistant mixes to stop the bricks from loosening.
- Capping and Ventilation: If you've got a redundant flue, we can cap it off to stop birds nesting while still letting the stack 'breathe' to prevent internal damp.
- Soakers and Flashings: Fitting those vital hidden lead layers that keep the water out of your attic.
- Stack Rebuilds: If the structure has become unsafe, we can carefully dismantle and rebuild it to match the character of your home.
