Any recent roof/loft repair recommendations?

[Alison_cat]

We are currently buying a flat in Sydenham but the home buyer's survey has come back recommending that we get someone to take a more thorough look at the loft as the vendor had sheeting up, concealing the timbers and they might need remedial work. I am hoping 'might' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

I have tried contacting various roofing people recommended on the forum - including Russel Perring - but not had a single reply as yet to my messages (except from Norwood Roofing who are too busy) and was wondering if anyone had any recent recommendations for people prepared to come and quote for work?

It also suddenly occurred to me that perhaps roofing people aren't the people we need to assess internal loft and ventilation and that I perhaps should be trying someone else? There are some small roofing issues (flashing and gutters) I was hoping to get them to quote for at the same time.

Norwood Roofing Specialists are excellent. I called David just before Christmas because our roof was leaking. Within 1 day he had arranged for scaffolding to be put up, and within 2 days the previous supposedly waterproof paint was removed and an underfelt and charcoal cap-sheet torched down using gas burners.

They were quick, efficient and highly professional and the price was fair. A day later it was bucketing down and not a drop of water came through. I would highly recommend Norwood Roofing specialists.
