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!

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
