Chimney Repairs And Leadwork in St Austell Operating Across Cornwall
Expert St Austell chimney repairs and specialist leadwork
Have you noticed a damp patch appearing on your chimney breast lately, or perhaps a few bits of grit and mortar appearing in the garden after a heavy storm? It’s a common sight for many of us in St Austell. Your chimney is the most exposed part of your home, standing tall against everything the Atlantic throws at us. At Cornwall & Plymouth Roofing (trading as Elite Construction), we’ve spent years helping neighbours across Cornwall protect their homes with expert chimney maintenance and traditional leadwork that’s built to last. Whether you’re in a historic cottage in Charlestown or a modern family home in the town centre, we’re here to make sure your roof stays watertight and your chimney stack remains rock solid.
Why Choose Us?
Protecting St Austell homes from the Cornish elements
Living in Cornwall means our roofs have a lot to deal with. It isn’t just the rain; it’s the salt air and those fierce gales that push water into the tiniest of gaps. Most homeowners we chat with don't realise their chimney mortar is perishing until they see water staining their wallpaper. If your chimney hasn't been looked at in a decade, the 'flaunching'—that sloped mortar cap at the top—might be cracked, or the pots could be loose. We provide thorough inspections to catch these small issues before they turn into expensive structural repairs. We understand the local architecture here, from the slate-hung terraces to the stone-built farmhouses, and we use the right materials, like traditional lime mortars where needed, to ensure your home breathes properly and looks its best.

Who We Are
Traditional leadwork that lasts a lifetime
Lead is truly the unsung hero of a waterproof roof. When it’s installed correctly by a specialist, it can easily last sixty to a hundred years. We specialise in lead bossing and welding, ensuring that the 'flashings' and 'soakers'—the seals where your chimney meets your slates or tiles—are perfectly fitted. Are you worried about a leaky joint? We often find that older lead has split or was never 'stepped' into the brickwork properly. Our team uses the correct lead weights, typically Code 4 or Code 5, to ensure your chimney can expand and contract with the temperature without cracking. It’s a craft that requires a steady hand and an eye for detail, and it’s something we take huge pride in doing right the first time.

Repointing and restoring your chimney stack
Is your brickwork looking a bit tired or 'sandy'? Over time, the mortar between your bricks or stones can wash away, leaving the structure vulnerable to the frost. This is where professional repointing comes in. We don't just slap some cement over the top; we rake out the old, perished mortar and replace it with a fresh, weather-resistant mix that matches your property's character. If the stack is beyond a simple repair, we also handle full chimney stack rebuilds. On the other hand, if you have a redundant chimney that's causing nothing but damp issues, we can safely remove it or cap it with breathable vents to keep the air flowing while keeping the birds out.
