Roofer Recommendation


Shakers

Recommended Posts

Wanted to put a quick recommendation up here for roofer, Russell Perring (‭07852 972052‬). Found him on the Forum originally, but wanted to second the recommendation after the support he gave me getting out of a tricky situation between party wall surveyors. He went out of his way to talk to the surveyors directly, do multiple drawings offering different solutions and redrawing following party wall surveyor feedback. It was a prolonged process over a number of months, one of which most contractors would have walked away from. Once we eventually had approval to proceed with the works, he came round with his team and finished the job (waterproofing issues / leadwork / repointing / gutterwork) in less than a day. The job required access to our neighbours property where he was extremely polite and left the place as he found it. Because of his quality, he?s a busy guy (quite hard to get hold of), but I recommend to hold out if you need a trustworthy roofer.

Russell has just done another job for me: putting coping stones along the top of the front elevation of my house, and yet again he's done an excellent job. I can't recommend him highly enough. His quotes are very fair and I trust him implicitly. He quite clearly excellent at what he does and takes considerable pride in doing a job not only very well but also very quickly and efficiently. He's also bright, creative and a genuinely nice guy.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
