About Our Expertise — Why You Can Trust Jade Roofing Experts With Your Chimney
Jade Roofing Experts was founded by Naher Farrokh, and over more than 15 years the business has completed more than roofing and chimney projects across London — from emergency repairs carried out in the middle of the night to full heritage leadwork in conservation areas.
I’ve personally seen how often chimney problems in London are caused not by age, but by previous repairs done with the wrong materials or without proper flashing technique. That’s a large part of why we insist on BBA-approved materials for every job — it’s not a marketing line, it’s what stops the same leak coming back in twelve months.
Every project is carried out in full compliance with HSE guidelines, and we are fully insured for both public liability and the work carried out. Where council permits are required — scaffolding licences, pavement closures, or conservation area consent — we handle the applications directly, because most homeowners shouldn’t have to navigate that process alone.
Frequently Asked Chimney & Leadwork Questions — London
Real questions from London homeowners, answered honestly by the Jade Roofing Experts team.
What is chimney repointing?
Chimney repointing is the process of removing damaged or crumbling mortar from between the bricks of a chimney stack and replacing it with fresh mortar, restoring the chimney’s structural integrity and weather resistance.
What is chimney flashing?
Chimney flashing is the lead or metal barrier fitted at the junction where a chimney stack meets the roof, sealing the joint to prevent water from entering the property.
What is chimney flaunching?
Chimney flaunching is the sloped cement or mortar layer at the top of a chimney stack that secures the chimney pots in place and directs rainwater away from the flue.
How do I know if my chimney needs repointing?
Signs your chimney needs repointing include crumbling or missing mortar between bricks, damp patches near the chimney breast, and visible cracks in the brickwork, and a professional inspection can confirm the extent of the damage.
How much does chimney repair cost in London?
Chimney repair costs in London vary depending on the extent of the damage, ranging from minor repointing to a full stack rebuild, and Jade Roofing Experts provides a free inspection and written, fixed-price quote before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to repair or rebuild a chimney in London?
Most minor chimney repairs do not require a permit, but larger rebuilds and properties in conservation areas may require council consent, and Jade Roofing Experts manages these applications on the customer’s behalf where needed.
Can I repair a chimney myself?
Chimney repair involves working at height on unstable structures and should not be attempted without professional training, scaffolding, and insurance, as incorrect repairs commonly lead to repeat leaks and higher costs later.
What causes chimney leaks?
Chimney leaks are most commonly caused by failed or corroded lead flashing, cracked flaunching, deteriorated mortar joints, or damaged chimney pots, all of which allow water to penetrate the structure.
What is the difference between a chimney repair and a chimney rebuild?
A chimney repair addresses isolated issues such as repointing or flashing replacement, while a chimney rebuild involves reconstructing part or all of the chimney stack when structural damage is too extensive for repair alone.
Do roofers carry out leadwork, or is that a separate trade?
Experienced roofing companies such as Jade Roofing Experts carry out leadwork as a core part of chimney and roofing services, since lead flashing and roofing repairs are closely interconnected.
