Roofer & guttering repair recommendation


Pickle

Recommended Posts

We have just had some long overdue work done on our house, replacing and repairing faulty guttering & fascia boards, fitting drip trays and moss removal and rendering of our parapet walls at the top of the house.


The company we dealt with were professional, efficient, and managed to fit us in very quickly, so I thought I would share their details as can't find mention of them on the forum.

Thanks Pickle, we're looking for both roofers and renderers at the moment and its not easy getting people around to quote. Do you happen to know anyone decent who would undertake interior work(bathroom, kitchen etc?). Kind regards and hope the family are well, Mike.

Pickle thank you for the recommendation - I had David and Patrick round to unblock my hopper and re-align some drains. They came to my home within an hour of my call and completed the job professionally. They are both lovely guys and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

David of Norwood Roofing Specialists installed a fascia board, gutter and downpipe, all long overdue for replacing and a mysteriously missing chimney pot. The work was carried out quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable price. Another recommend!

Another glowing report for a top roofer!


David Donnell and his nephew Patrick from Norwood Roofing Specialists.


The most competent, professional and friendly gentlemen.


Came to assess my roof on the day I called. Fitted me in within a week.


Repointed party wall, reconnected guttering, added drip trays, refixed fascia boards and repaired flashing.


All in a morning.


I know they have had several mentions on this forum but credit where credit's due..I can't recommend them highly enough.

I would like to add to these recommendations for David O'Connell of Norwood Roofing Specialists. They have done three roofing repairs for me now: 2 chimney stacks and replacing some tiles. David was very efficient at answering enquiries, arranging appointments and getting quotes back. David, Patrick and Alec sorted the scaffolding and did the work quickly and cleanly. I'm particularly pleased with the work on one chimney stack as two other roofers have tried to solve this for me before, to no avail. A very professional and courteous team.

Having had no success with previous botchy-type repairs on my long leaking chimney in my house on overhill rd, I contacted Dave and his team who were extremely professional in all my dealings. Dave is very reliable and he phones to confirm appointments. He and his team are all friendly and pleasant to deal with, and they do a thorough job that they record photographically. I would highly recommend David O'Connell , [email protected]

I would like to also recommend David O'Donnell for roofing works. I got David's name from this forum and urgently needed repairs carried out on a bay roof in Peckham Rye. I phoned him and left a message and he called straight back. He came out to see the roof and called me immediately with recommendations. As I wasn't able to be around, he took photos of the repairs that he made which includes some brickwork repointing. I feel entirely confident in his work.

I would also like to recommend David - he and his team did a brilliant job with repairing our roof. He responded straight away to my query (which was in December and a particularly busy time) and arranged to come round. He reviewed the work and came back immediately with a great quote and a proposed date for the work. The team arrived promptly on the day and completed the work the same day. No hesitation in recommendation David, he's also a lovely, personal guy and completely trustworthy. In fact, we've just used him again for another job today!

I'm also adding another review/recommendation for David at Norwood Roofing Specialists.

I rang this morning with an emergency as a chimney pot came down in last night's heavy winds, taking several chunks out of our extension roof and leaving various pieces of vicious bits of tiling and pottery hanging precariously. David said he'd be there within the hour, which he was and he had everything secured and fixed the same day, all in very high winds and 3 stories up. He was polite, tidy and very efficient and one of the best workmen we've ever had work for us. He also checked over the rest of our roof for us and supplied photos of the work before and after. I highly recommend him.

I wanted to resurrect my thread.


Was chatting to David and Patrick this morning (they were doing some repair work to my neighbours house). Mentioned a tile had slipped off our roof, and 20 minutes later they had been in and fixed it for me. The guttering work they did for us last year has been 100% fault free.


Really nice guys, we have other bits and pieces needing done and I'll have no hesitation in getting them back to do more work for us.

I'd like to add my recommendation to all those on here. After seeing David recommended on here so many times I called him out to fix a leaky chimney and a leaky bay roof. He replied very quickly, and came out within days to fix the problems. He and his team are very thorough and tidy. We'll definitely be using him again.

I'd also like to add my recommendation of David. I took his contact from the forum, sent an email to him which he responded quickly to and attended the next day to survey the job, quoted and carried out the job within a week. I highly recommend him to the forum members.

Adding a recommendation for David at Norwood Roofing. I found his details on EDF and called him to discuss a leak in our roof. David came with his colleague Patrick the next day, quoted on the spot and they were back the following morning to do the repairs (it was due to rain on Friday, so it was good that they could come that quickly!). They explained what needed to be done and showed me pictures. The work also came with a 10 year guarantee, which is very reassuring. I found David to be very responsive and professional - which is unfortunately very rare with builders in this day and age.

Norwood Roofing specialists, another great job well done!!


If anyone reading this is looking for a professional roofing company, look no further.


From start to finish...came out to inspect the roof on the day I called, took photos of every issue and went through all the work required. Set up a date within a week. Turned up on time, worked tidily, took photos of their completed work which, to me a non-roofer, looked like a work of art!

David and Patrick could not be a nicer, more hard-working pair. This is the third time they have worked on our roof and I am more then happy to recommend them.

I contacted David as a number of roofing/guttering issues had been identified when I purchased my house in Honor Oak Park. He was able to visit the property and provide a quote within a couple of days and the work was scheduled for 10 days later. His small team arrived on time (7.45am!), were polite, worked hard and appear to have done a good job of repointing the bonnet tiles, re-felting/flashing the garage flat roof and some other small bits and pieces. Thanks guys!

Also used David and team after reading recommendation on here. Came round very quickly to quote, arrived exactly when he said, worked quickly and efficiently and it looks - as far as I can tell - like a great job and everything we agreed. Really impressive service and communication. Would highly recommend him and in fact already have to next door neighbour.

David has just removed our chimney stack and completed some repointing. We are really pleased with his work, and the before and after photos he provided. He is efficient, straightforward and friendly and we would definitely recommended him.

    • You can't refuse. TW allows you up to a 12 months after installation during which time you can continue with the fixed rate system. Then after 12 months you go on the meter rates regardless. The one benefit of this is that the meter send readings on an hourly basis and if you have consumption being registered, when you would not expect it,  (such as between 1am and 6am) , they will advise you that you have a leak somewhere and will give an estimate of how much extra this leakage will cost you after you go on the meter rates.  That way you can fix your lea(s) in advance and save money. If you cannot find the leak  inside the house, it may be outside underground, between your house and the water meter because your old lead pipe may be leaking. That stretch of pipe is your responsibility.  Then you can ask them to help you find it and if you play your cards nicely and catch the TW guy on a good day, then TW will replace your old 1" pipe with a new blue 25mm pipe.  
    • Thank you to everyone who do drop off food while they were casting their votes, thanks also to those who enquired about volunteering. It doesn't have to be an election day though to do either though, so we would be grateful to receive donations and additional volunteer help any other day of the year too. We have also just added another string to our bow, and are now re-homing unwanted electricals too, so if you have any unwanted small electricals lurking at home that we can re-home, please drop them off to use to. We only ask that they are clean and working.  we will PAT test them and assuming all good, we will find a new home for them. The Community Fridge website has details, along with a wealth of other information Best wishes Steve Albrighton Community Fridge w: albrightoncommunityfridge.org i: albrighton_community_fridge_   
    • Hello, TW installed ours in SE27 in October 2023, unprompted too. We just got a note through the letterbox informing us of the switch to smart meter and its serial number, after it was done. 
    • I've recently moved into East Dulwich. I transferred my Thames Water account to my new address, and I  have received my bill for the year. But now I've received an email from them saying they'll be out on the 8th to fit my new smart meter, which was unrequested by me. I can probably refuse but I wanted to check here if perhaps there was a TW campaign to get these installed in the area? Thank you.
