Any recent roof/loft repair recommendations?

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.

    • I was going through a huge box of old postcards today, and I came across a postcard apparently published by or on behalf of this forum, with three rather boring (sorry! Perhaps this was intentional!) photos on it. There is no name or date on it. Does anybody know anything about it? It must be very old, as I haven't opened this box for years! "You may have heard of it" 😂

    • Received this response from TFL today (15 October)   Thank you for contacting us on 1 October regarding the ongoing diversion of the P13 bus route between Rye Lane and Sainsbury’s, Dog Kennel Hill, since 29 September. You’re absolutely right that the diversion is due to Thames Water works in the area. While other traffic may appear to be flowing freely along Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road, our local Service Delivery Manager has confirmed that buses are unable to safely make the turn from Avondale Rise into Ivanhoe Road in either direction. This is due to the size and turning radius of the vehicles, which differs significantly from that of smaller vehicles. We understand that diversions can be inconvenient and appreciate your patience while this work is ongoing. We’re continuing to monitor the situation closely and will restore the usual route as soon as it is safe and operationally feasible to do so. Thanks again for contacting us. If there is anything else we can help you with, please reply to this email. Alternatively, you can call us on 0343 222 1234 and we'll be happy to help you.
