looking for recommendations for a great local roofer, and good Damp specialists

Hello, I'd love recommendations from forum users (not businesses thanks) for a really good local(ish) roofer, and an excellent Damp company that people have had good experiences of using - I need a weird mystery Damp stain diagnosed! And I think I should get a roofer to check the seams/slates of a roof join to check it's not coming from there too. Thanks all so much.

Just wanted to add my recommendation for Russell Perring at RJP Roofing and Building. They just carried out a number of repairs on our house, the work is good quality and they were quick and the price was reasonable. 07852 972052 [email protected].


Steve Mumford has done jobs for us in the past and we asked him to quote in November. Strangely he never sent the quote after the site visit and didn't reply to various messages we left.

Hello, does anyone know if Russell Perrin is still operating? He has such good recommendations I would like to contact him. I sent a message a few days ago and tried calling with no reply and no a/m to leave a message. Maybe he's on holiday?

Sorry this is probably too late for you, but yes he is.


I texted him on Friday because I was concerned about the quality of the rebuilding of my bay roof which was recently done by others as part of an insurance claim (annoyingly, as he had done a very good job on it himself a few years back and it was still under his ten year guarantee).


He phoned me up within half an hour, said he would come to have a look at it the following morning (today - ie a Saturday), came as promised, told me exactly what had been done wrong (GRRRRRR), showed me on other nearby houses how it should have been done, and made sure I understood exactly what I needed to tell the builders/other roofers for it to be put right.


He also said if necessary he would come and do it himself (and charge the insurance company!).


I really can't recommend him too highly - oh and sorry but I've been misspelling his name for years, as I found out when I tried to google it - it's Perring not Perrin. Apologies!

    • Had a great experience with Paul. He sorted out a lighting issue we had very efficiently and I would highly recommend him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/edgleycontracting382245

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
